To clean the product
Do not use a garden hose or a pressure washer to
clean the surface except for the washout port. Keep
water out of the engine and transmission. Water in
the engine or transmission can decrease the life of
the product. Use compressed air or a leaf blower to
remove grass, leaves and litter.
• Clean all unwanted material from the engine,
battery, seat and other parts of the product.
• Clean contamination from the steering plate.
Contamination limits the movement of the clutch/
brake pedal shaft, causes the belt to loosen and
decreases forward movement.
CAUTION: Avoid all pinch
points and movable parts.
• Keep the surfaces and wheels free of all
gasoline, oil, and so on.
• Use automotive type wax to prevent damage to
the surfaces.
