MAINTENANCE
CLEANING MACHINE
Clean the machine after use. Compressed air is
recommended. Do not use a pressure washer. The
machine will run cooler and last longer if kept free of
clippings and other debris. A clean machine also re-
duces the risk of fire due to accumulation of combus
-
tible debris and chaff.
Brush or blow clippings and debris off the cutterdeck
and engine deck. Clippings and debris should be
kept from accumulating around the exhaust system
and under the exhaust guards. This can be doen
by using compressed air. DO NOT use a pressure
washer.
WASHING MACHINE
CAUTION: Improperly washing a machine can cause
water to enter bearings and other components. This
can greatly reduce component life.
– Do not use a pressure washer. Do not direct
water at bearings or seals. High pressure water
can blow past seals and enter sealed bearings.
– Allow the machine to cool down before washing.
Water on a warm machine can be sucked into
sealed bearings as they cool.
– Avoid getting electrical connections wet. Water
can cause electrical faults and corrosion of elec-
trical components.
