MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and 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 each use (after it is 
cooled), before the dirt sticks.

Avoid using a high pressure washer or steam 
cleaner. Rinse at normal water pressure. Do 
not spray water on the top of the mower deck. 
Use compressed air to clean the top side of 
mower deck. Regularly clean deck and 
underside of deck, avoid spraying engine and 
electrical components with water.

Check before rinsing that the fuel tank lid is 
tight to avoid getting water in the tank.

Caster Wheels

Check every 200 hours. Check that wheels 
rotate freely. If wheels do not rotate freely 
take the unit to your dealer for service.

Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the 
warranty.

Removal and installation of caster wheel

1.

Remove nut and caster bolt.

2.

Pull the wheel out of the fork and take 
care of the sleeve.

3.

Install in reverse order. Tighten caster 
bolt.

Hardware

Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for 
loose or missing hardware.

8011-644

Cleaning

Use protective glasses when

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
DO NOT add any type of tire liner or foam 
fill material to the tires. Excessive loads 
created by foam filled tires will cause 
premature failures.
Only use O.E.M. specified tires.
