POST-OPERATION MOWER CARE After each operation of the mower, the following procedures should be implemented to extend the life of your mower and ensure safe operating conditions. DANGER Failure to follow these recommendations may result in serious injury to yourself or others and may cause damage to the mower. Cleaning the Underside of the Deck Rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside and prevent the buildup of corrosive chemicals. WARNING Make certain the mower's discharge chute is directed AWAY from people, your house, garage, parked cars, etc. 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake and stop the engine. 2. Use a hose to spray the underside of the deck. NOTE: Make sure that the hose is not routed under the deck and is clear of all moving parts. 3. After cleaning your deck, return to the operator's position and engage the PTO. Keep the deck running for a minimum of two minutes, allowing the underside of the deck to thoroughly dry. Cleaning the Mower WARNING If the mower has been recently run, the engine, muffler, and surrounding metal surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Let the engine cool for at least 5 minutes. Exercise caution to avoid burns. Your mower should be cleaned after each use and under certain conditions, i.e. dry conditions and/or mulching situations, additional cleaning may be necessary. One of the best ways to keep your mower running efficiently and to reduce fire risk is to regularly remove debris buildup from the mower. Follow the recommendations below and contact your authorized dealer with any questions. • Allow the machine to cool in an open area before cleaning. • Do not use water on any part of the mower except the underside of the cutting deck. Doing so can cause damage to the mower's spindle bearings, electrical system and engine, leading to premature failures. The use of compressed air and/ or leaf blower will help keep the mower clean. 23
