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,
especially the belts and pulleys.
IMPORTANT: The use of a pressure washer or
garden hose to clean your tractor is NOT
recommended. It may cause damage to electrical
components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine.
The use of water will result in a shortened life of the
tractor and reduce its serviceability.
