Use protective glasses when
cleaning and washing.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the
mower deck, will increase the machine’s life-span.
Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use
(after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use
compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck.
Regularly clean deck and underside of the deck with
normal water pressure. Do not use a high pressure
washer or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit cool
before washing.
Caster Wheels
Check every 200 hours. Check that wheels rotate
freely.
Removal and Installation
Remove nut and caster bolt. Pull the wheel out of
the fork. Install in reverse order. Tighten caster bolt.
Torque to 45 ft-lbs (61 Nm), then back nut off ½ turn.
NoTE: Tire should rotate freely but axle spacers
should not.
If wheels do not rotate freely take the unit to the dealer
for service.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or
missing hardware.
