5. 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 assembly
from the tractor and standing the deck assembly
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 deterio-
rates and clogging begins to occur because of
too much buildup on the bafing and housing.

up position. Do not move the tractor with
the deck in the tilt-up position.
