6.17 Cleaning the Mower

The underside of the mower deck should be checked and cleaned twice daily and more often if the grass
being mowed is lush or wet
. The entire mower should be cleaned daily at the end of the work day.

Cleaning should be done with a leaf blower or low-pressure compressed air. Wash with water only when
necessary and do not use a pressure washer or nozzle as the water can enter bearings and electrical
connections causing an electrical short, rust and corrosion. When washing with water, avoid spraying near
the hydro cap and do so when the unit has cooled down. Washing a hot machine can cause various
unseen system damage. If water is used for cleaning, immediately dry it with a leaf blower or low-pressure
compressed air and run with blades engaged for approximately 10 minutes. Once the wash is complete,
always lubricate and grease all applicable areas.
