DANGER
Do not operate the mower with deck in tilt-
up position. Do not move the tractor with
the deck in the tilt-up position.
6. Clean grass buildup underneath the deck using
a pressure washer (and scraper if required).
NOTE: If the buildup is severe, it may be easier
to clean the deck by removing the deck assem
bly from the tractor and standing the deck as
sembly on its “nose”.
NOTE: While some degree of material buildup
in the mower deck housing can be tolerated, a
point is nally reached where cutting quality
deteriorates and clogging begins to occur
because of too much buildup on the ba󰀪ing and
housing.
7. Lower the deck to the normal operating position
and rotate locking arms downward into the
LOCKED position.
