Cleaning the Engine And Deck
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 or on any other part of the
machine.
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. Use
the Deck Wash System™ to rinse grass clippings from
the deck’s underside and prevent the buildup of corrosive
chemicals.
NOTE: Refer to page 26 for information regarding this
and other separately-available attachments & acces-
sories for your tractor.
Cutting Deck Removal
To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
1. Place the PTO (Blade Engage) knob in the disen-
gaged (OFF) position and engage the parking brake.
2. Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the
bottom notch on the right fender.
3. Remove the deck belt from around the tractor’s
electric PTO clutch (refer to Changing the Deck Belt).
4. Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the
tractor, locate the deck support pin on the rear left
side of the deck.
5. Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor
and release it.
6. Pull the deck support pin outward to release the deck
from the deck lift arm. See Fig. 6-3.
Repeat the above steps on the tractor’s right side.
7. Move the deck lift lever into the top notch to raise the
deck lift arms up and out of the way.
8. Gently slide the cutting deck toward the front of the
tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release
themselves from the deck stabilizer rod.
9. Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side) out
from underneath the tractor.
