CLEANING
• Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of

ail foreign matter.

• 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 transmis­
sion 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.
