Cleaning

Under side of rear deck

Remove grass and debris.

Washing

Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the

mower deck, will increase the machine’s lifespan.

make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use,

before the dirt sticks. Do not spray high pressure water

directly on the top of the deck. Do not spray hot engine

or exhaust.

8062-012

Clean mower deck after each use

Hardware

Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or

missing hardware.

WARNING!

Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure

can have sufficient force to penetrate

the skin, causing serious injury.

If injured by escaping fluid, see a

doctor at once. Serious infection

or reaction can develop if proper

medical treatment is not administered

immediately.
