Service and General Maintenance
Proper and timely service of this power unit is critical
to keep the power unit in a safe and reliable operat-
ing condition. Follow the maintenance schedule at the
end of the service section. For convenience, a fre-
quent service guide decal and a quick reference decal

Cleaning and Appearance Care
For best results, and to maintain the finish of the
power unit, clean or wash the power unit to remove
accumulated clippings, leaves, dirt, gravel, and salt
deposits when the job is finished.
ATTENTION
To maintain the finish of the power unit, thoroughly
wash the equipment after each use to remove any
corrosive agents (e.g. salt). Failure to clean the
equipment may result in corrosion of (including but
not limited to) steel, aluminum, and electrical com
-
ponents. Equipment that will experience repeated
exposure to corrosive agents should be pretreated
with a corrosion preventative.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, it must be allowed
to cool in order to prevent damage to the block and
the exhaust manifold.
Do not direct high pressure water at the engine, air
cleaner, muffler, radiator, hydraulic oil cooler, or any
electrical components.
Allow the power unit and all components to cool be-
fore washing. Refer to the specific service sections for
proper cleaning techniques for the engine, radiator,
and hydraulic oil cooler. Use mild soap and water to
clean the power unit. Harsh chemical cleaners could
cause damage to the finish or the components.
It is necessary to periodically remove the lower rear
frame cover and blow out or wash out any accumu-
lated debris.
After cleaning, use touch up paint to repair any chips
or scratches.
