4.10 AFTER OPERATION
1. Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not
use high pressure spray or direct the spray onto
electrical components.
- IMPORTANT -
Do not wash a hot or running engine. Cold water
will damage the engine. Use compressed air to
clean the engine if it is hot.
2. Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat
damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.
3. Check the drive belts for proper alignment and any
signs of wear. Correct and adjust if necessary.
DANGER
To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower
to cool before removing the fuel tank cap and
refueling.
4. After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tank
with fresh, clean fuel at the end of every day of
operation. See Engine Owner's Manual for proper
octane requirements.
5. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if
necessary.
4.11 REMOVING CLOGGED MATERIAL
DANGER
ROTATING BLADES
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS INTO THE DISCHARGE
CHUTE FOR ANY REASON!
Shut off the engine and remove the key and
only then use a stick or similar object to remove
material if clogging has occurred.
1. If the discharge chute becomes clogged, shut off
the engine and remove the ignition key. Using a stick
or similar item, dislodge the clogged material. Then
resume normal mowing.
4.12 MOVING MOWER WITH ENGINE
STOPPED
To “free-wheel” or move the mower around without the
engine running, rotate the dump valve levers counter-
clockwise. See Figure 4-7. Disengage the parking brake
and move the mower by hand. When the machine is in the
desired position, engage the parking brake and rotate the
levers clockwise until they stop. The dump valve levers
must be returned to the DRIVE position and torqued to
10 lb-ft to drive the mower.
DUMP VALVE
CONTROL
Figure 4-7. Dump Valve Control
4.13 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING
1. Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear
grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance and
reduced mowing power.
WARNING
DO NOT operate without Discharge Chute,
Mulching Kit, or entire Grass Catcher properly
installed.
