Inspecting and Cleaning
after Mowing
After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine with
a garden hose without a nozzle so that excessive
water pressure does not contaminate and damage the
seals, bearings, and electronics.
Do not wash the
electrical connections with water.
Important:
Do not use brackish or reclaimed
water to clean the machine.
Important:
Do not use power-washing equipment
to wash the machine. Power-washing equipment
may damage the electrical system, loosen
important decals, or wash away necessary grease
at friction points. It may force water under seals,
contaminating oil or grease contained housings.
Avoid excessive use of water near the control
panel and batteries.
Inspect the cutting units for sharpness after you clean
the machine.
Hauling the Machine
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or a truck.
•
Use a full-width ramp for loading the machine into
a trailer or a truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely using straps,
chains, cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps
should be directed down and outward from the
machine (
