Cleaning the Tractor

Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped off
promptly. Do NOT allow debris to accumulate around the cooling
fins of the engine, the transmission’s cooling fan or on any other
part of the machine, especially the belts and pulleys.

IMPORTANT:

The use of a pressure washer to clean your

tractor is NOT recommended. It may cause damage to electrical
components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine.

Deck Wash System™

A hex plug can be found on your tractor’s deck surface. See Fig. 6-2.

This plug can be replaced with a water port to be used as part of
a separately-available deck wash system.
The Deck Wash System™ is used to rinse grass clippings from the
deck’s underside and prevent the buildup of corrosive chemicals.
NOTE: Refer to the Attachments & Accessories section of this
manual for information regarding this and other separately-
available attachments & accessories for your tractor.

Lubrication

WARNING!

Before lubricating, repairing, or

inspecting, always disengage PTO, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.

Front Wheels

Each of the front wheel axles and rims is equipped with a
grease fitting. See Fig. 6-3. Lubricate with a No. 2 multi-purpose
grease applied with a grease gun after every 25 hours of tractor
operation.

Pivot Points & Linkage

Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system, parking brake
and lift linkage at least once a season with light oil.
