DECK WASHOUT PORT (See Fig. 22)
Your tractor’s deck is equipped with a washout port on
its surface as part of its deck wash system. It should be
utilized after each use.
• Drive the tractor to a level, clear spot on your lawn, near
enough to a water spigot for your garden hose to reach.
IMPORTANT: Make certain the tractor’s discharge chute
is directed AWAY from your house, garage, parked cars,
etc. Remove bagger chute or mulch cover if attached.
• Make sure the attachment clutch control is in the
“DISENGAGED” position, set the parking brake, and
stop the engine.
• Ensure your garden hose is fitted with a standard 12mm
female hose connector (at the opposite end from the
tap connection).
• Pull back the lock collar of the hose connector and push
the connector onto the deck washout port at the left end
of the mower deck. Release the lock collar to lock the
connector on the nozzle.
IMPORTANT: Tug hose ensuring connection is secure.
• Turn the water on.
• While sitting in the operator’s position on the tractor,
re-start the engine and place the throttle lever in the
Fast " " position.
IMPORTANT: Recheck the area making certain the area
is clear.
• Move the tractor’s attachment clutch control to the
“ENGAGED” position. Remain in the operator’s position
with the cutting deck engaged until the deck is cleaned.
• Move the tractor’s attachment clutch control to the
“DISENGAGED” position. Turn the ignition key to the
STOP position to turn the tractor’s engine off. Turn the
water off.
• Pull back the lock collar of the hose connector to
disconnect the connector from the nozzle washout port.
• Move the tractor to a dry area, preferably a concrete or
paved area. Place the attachment clutch control in the
“ENGAGED” position to remove excess water and to
help dry before putting the tractor away.
