DECK WASHOUT PORT

Your tractor’s deck is equipped with a

washout port on its surface as part of its

deck wash system. It should be utilized af­

ter each use.

1. 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.
