CLEANING
• Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc.
of all foreign matter.
, Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
, Protect painted surfaces with auto-
motive 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.
