Deck Wash System™
Your tractor's deck may be equipped with a water port on
its surface as part of its deck wash system.
If equipped, use the Deck Wash System™ to rinse grass
clippings from the deck's underside and prevent the
buildup of corrosive chemicals. Complete the following
steps AFTER EACH MOWING:
1. Drive the tractor to a level, clear spot on your lawn,
near enough to a water sillcock (spigot) for your
garden hose to reach.
IMPORTANT: Make certain the tractor's discharge chute
is directed AWAY from your house, garage, parked cars,
etc.
2. Disengage the PTO (Blade Engage), move the shift
lever into the neutral position, set the parking brake,
and stop the engine.
3. Thread the hose coupler (packaged with your tractor's
Operator's Manual) onto the end of your garden hose.
4. Attach the hose coupler to the water port on your
decks surface. See Figure 14.
5. Turn the water on.
6. While sitting in the operator's position on the tractor,
re-start the engine and place the throttle lever in the
FAST (rabbit) position.
7. Disengage the parking brake.
8. Move the tractor's PTO (Blade Engage) into the ON
position.
9. Remain in the operator's position with the cutting
deck engaged for a minimum of two minutes, allowing
the underside of the cutting deck to thoroughly rinse.
10.Move the tractor's PTO (Blade Engage) into the OFF
position.
11. Turn the ignition key to the STOP position to turn the
tractor's engine off and engage the parking brake.
12.Turn the water off and detach the hose coupler from
the water port on your decks surface.
13.Repeat steps 4-11 on the opposite side of the cutting
deck.
