MAINTENANCE

Fig. 22

Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,

oil, etc.

• Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.
We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure

washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans-

mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or

transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor. Use

compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves

and trash from tractor and mower.

CLEANING

• Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of all foreign

matter.

• Clean debris from steering plate. Debris can restrict

clutch/brake pedal shaft movement, causing belt slip

and loss of drive.

CAUTION:

Avoid all pinch points and

movable parts (See Fig. 22)
