CLEANING THE MOWER DECK
With the engine shut off and after the blade has stopped spinning, check and clean out
the inside of the deck housing periodically. Remove any grass wrappings between the
blade mounting adapter and spindle housing. Grass wrappings, if allowed to accumulate,
may work their way under the bearings and damage the seals. Excessive grass accumula-
tion in the deck housing will waste horsepower and cause plugging, streaking, and corro-
sion.
A
WARNING: Be sure that the mower drive lever is off, the engine is
shut off, the key removed and the blade has stopped spinning before
attempting to clean a plugged discharge chute.
MOWER ANTI-SCALP WHEELS
The Anti-Scalp wheels should be oiled after each five hours of operation. Make sure
the oil penetrates to the inside of the bushings by holding the deck at an angle while lub-
ricating.
