Cleaning the Underside of the Deck
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, do not use water to clean the riding mower,
battery, or battery charger. Do not use strong detergents. Household
cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and
solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic.
The underside of riding mower deck should be cleaned after each use as grass
clippings, leaves, dirt and other debris will accumulate. This accumulation of grass
clippings, etc., is undesirable as it will promote rust and corrosion.
1.
Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the deck motor and
underside of the riding mower (DO NOT USE WATER). Wipe the riding mower
clean with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your riding
mower. These may cause damage to electric components or the electric motor. The
use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Cleaning the Riding Mower
WARNING
If the riding mower has been recently run, metal surfaces will be hot
and can cause burns to the skin. Let the riding mower cool for at least
five minutes. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
