other debris. A clean machine also reduces the risk
of fire due to accumulation of combustible debris and
chaff
Brush or blow clippings and debris off the cutterdeck

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 ad enter seal 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.
