Washing the Underside of the Mower Deck (continued)
Wash the underside of the mower deck after each use to prevent grass buildup for improved
mulch action and clipping dispersal.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), and
move the motion-control levers outward to the P
ARK position.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving
the operating position.

3. Attach a hose to the hose coupling , then
attach the hose coupling to the end of the
mower washout fitting
and turn the water on
high.
Note: Spread petroleum jelly on the washout
fitting O-ring
to make the coupling slide on
easier and protect the O-ring.
4. Sit on the seat, lower the mower to the lowest
height-of-cut, and start the engine.
5. Engage the blade-control switch and let the
mower run for 1 to 3 minutes.
6. Disengage the blade-control switch, shut off
the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
7. Turn the water off and remove the coupling from the washout fitting.
Note: If the mower is not clean after 1 washing, soak it and let it stand for 30 minutes.
Then repeat the process.
8. Run the mower again for 1 to 3 minutes to remove excess water.
WARNING
A broken or missing washout fitting could expose you and others to thrown objects
or blade contact. Contact with a blade or thrown debris can cause injury or death.
• Replace broken or missing washout fitting immediately, before using machine
again.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower or through openings in the
machine.
