Cleaning
Regular cleaning, especially under the mower
deck, will increase the machine’s life-span. Clean
the machine directly after use (after it is cooled),
before the debris sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck.
Use compressed air to clean the top side of the
mower deck. Do not use a high pressure washer
or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water.
Clean the underside of the deck with normal
water pressure. Attach the quick connect (from
the accessory packet) to a garden hose. After
mowing, snap the hose to the cleanout port and
turn on water supply.
Restart the mower and engage the blades to use
the spinning action to wash away debris. Make
sure the hose is away from the mower blades.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit
cool before washing.
CAUTION! Always wear eye
protection when cleaning and
washing.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose
or missing hardware.
Caster Wheels
Check every 200 hours. Check that wheels rotate
freely. Foam lled tires or solid tires will void the
warranty.
To replace, remove the nut and caster bolt. Pull
the wheel out of the yoke and take care with the
spacer. Reinstall in reverse order. Tighten the
caster bolt and torque to 61 Nm.
NOTE: Tire must rotate freely but axle spacers
must not. If wheels do not rotate freely take the
unit to the dealer for service.
Anti-scalp Rollers
Anti-scalp rollers are properly adjusted when
they are slightly off of the ground when the deck
is at the desired cutting height. Anti-scalp rollers
keep the deck in the proper position to help
prevent scalping in most terrain conditions. Do not
adjust the rollers to support the deck. The rollers
must be approximately 6,5 mm from ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Adjust anti-scalp
rollers with the mower on a at level surface. To
avoid deck damage, the anti-scalp rollers must
not be adjusted to support the deck.
