MAINTENANCE

Use protective glasses when cleaning

and washing.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the

mower deck, will increase the machine’s life-span.

Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use

(after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks.

Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use

compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck.

Regularly clean deck and underside of the deck with

normal water pressure. Do not use a high pressure

washer or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and

electrical components with water.

Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit cool

before washing.

Hardware

Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or

missing hardware.

Spark Arrestors

A spark arrester is attached to the engine mufﬂer.

Clean the interior screen regularly, depending on

usage and conditions.

To clean, remove the clamp securing the tail pipe.

Remove the tail pipe and slide the spark arrestor

screen out of the mufﬂer. Clean carbon from the

screen with a soft brush or cloth.

Replace screen and reattach the tail pipe, orienting

the tail pipe either horizontally or upwards, away from

grassy surfaces.
