1. Park the unit on a level surface, within
reach of hose and in a location where
the dispersal of wet grass clippings is
acceptable.
2. Disengage the PTO switch, shut off the
engine, remove key, engage parking
brake and allow unit to cool for at least
30 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Do not wash the unit with water
when the unit is warm from operation. Water
can seep into bearings and cause damage.
3. Attach the hose coupling to a standard
garden hose connected to a water
supply.
4. Pull back the lock collar of the hose
coupling and push the coupling onto the
deck port until the coupling it tightly in
place. Release the lock collar to lock the
coupling to the deck port.
NOTE: Apply petroleum jelly to washout
fitting O-ring to allow the coupling to slide on
easier and to protect the O-ring.
NOTE: The coupling contains a valve that will
not allow water flow unless coupling is
attached to washout fitting. Water supply
should be turned off before attaching coupling
to the fitting.
5. Lower deck to lowest cutting height.
6. Turn the water supply on high.
NOTE: If water leaks excessively from hose
coupling onto top of deck, coupling may not
be fully seated onto washout port. Turn off
water supply and repeat steps 4 through 6.
Use firm pressure while installing coupling
onto washout port.
7. From the operators seat, start the
engine and engage the PTO. Allow unit
to run as needed - typically
2 to 3 minutes.
NOTE: Water spraying from discharge chute
should change from green to clear when deck
is clean.
8. Disengage the PTO, turn off engine,
remove key and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
9. Turn the water supply off and remove
coupling from the washout fitting.
NOTE: If the mower deck is not clean after
one washing, soak it and let stand for
30 minutes. Then repeat process.
10. After cleaning the mower deck, run the
unit again for 2 to 3 minutes to remove
access water.
