To clean the product CAUTION: Do not use a high- pressure washer or a steam cleaner. Water can go into bearings and electrical connections and cause corrosion which causes damage to the product. Clean the product immediately after use. • Do not clean hot surfaces such as the engine, muffler and exhaust system. Wait until the surfaces are cool, then remove the grass or dirt. • Before you clean with water, clean with a brush. Remove grass and dirt on and around the transmission, the transmission air intake, and the engine. • Use running water from a hose to clean the product. Do not use high-pressure. • Do not point the water at electrical components or bearings. Detergent usually increases the damage. • Use compressed air to clean the top side of the mower deck. • Use a water hose to clean below the cutting deck. • When the product is clean, start the cutting deck for a short period to remove remaining water. To clean the engine and the muffler Keep the engine and muffler free from grass cuttings and dirt. Grass cuttings soaked in fuel or oil on the engine can increase the fire risk and the risk that the engine becomes too hot. Let the engine cool before it is cleaned. Clean with water and a brush. Grass cuttings around the muffler dry quickly and are a fire risk. Use a brush or remove the grass cuttings with water when the muffler is cold. To clean the battery Corrosion and dirt on the battery and the terminals can cause the power of the battery to decrease. 1. Remove the battery. Refer to To remove and install the battery on page 18. 2. Flush the battery with water and let dry. CAUTION: Do not use a high- pressure washer or a steam cleaner. Water can go into bearings and electrical connections and cause corrosion which causes damage to the product. 3. Clean the terminals and the cable ends of the battery cables with a wire brush.
