Washing the Mower Deck
NOTE: The washout port allows you to connect a typical
garden hose to the trim side (L.H.) of the mower deck to
remove grass and debris from the underside. This ensures
proper and safe operation of the mower.
WARNING
Before running the mower, make sure the hose
_1_ is properly connected and does not come into
contact with the blades. When the mower is
running and the blades are engaged, the person
cleaning the mower deck must be in the operator position,
and there are no bystanders. Failure to follow these
precautions may result in serious injury or death.
2.
Place the tractor on a level surface (see Figure 5).
Attach the quick disconnect (A, Figure 14) to garden
hose (B) and connect to washout port (C) on mower
deck.
