SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 5. From the tractor operator's seat, start the engine and engage the PTO. Allow to run as needed. Disengage the PTO and stop the engine. 6. Turn off the water supply. 7. Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter to disconnect the nozzle adapter from the deck wash nozzle. Cleaning the Tractor • Clean the top of the mower deck, under the spindle covers and belt area. See Figure 31. WARNING If the tractor has been recently run, the engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will be very hot and can cause burns to the skin. Let the engine cool for at least five minutes. Exercise caution to avoid burns. Your tractor must 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 tractor running efficiently and to reduce fire risk is to regularly remove debris buildup from the tractor. Follow the recommendations below and contact your authorized dealer with any questions. • Allow the machine to cool for at least five minutes in an open area before cleaning. NOTE: Using a pressure washer or garden hose is not recommended for cleaning your tractor other than to clean the underside of the deck. It may cause damage to electrical components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability. • Keep both sides of transmission cooling slots, exhaust manifold, around fuses, all wiring and harnesses, muffler pipe, muffler shield, engine intake screens and cooling fins, etc. clear of grass clippings and leaves. See Figure 30. Figure 31 • Clean around and near the transmission, axle and the fan area. See Figure 32. Figure 30 Wheel Not Shown For Clarity Figure 32 • Debris can accumulate anywhere on the tractor, especially on horizontal surfaces. Additional cleaning may be necessary when mowing in dry conditions or when mulching. • Fuel leaks/spills, oil leaks/spills and excess lubrication can also become collections sites for debris. Immediate repair and cleaning up oil or fuel spills can help reduce fire hazards. 24
