SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Tractor
WARNING
If the tractor has been recently run, the engine, muffler,
and surrounding metal surfaces will be very hot and can
cause burns to the skin. Let the engine cool for at least five
minutes. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
Your tractor must be cleaned after each use and under certain
conditions, i.e. dry conditions and/or mulching situations,
additional cleaning may be necessary.
One of the best ways to keep your tractor running efficiently and
to reduce fire risk is to regularly remove debris buildup from the
tractor. Follow the recommendations below and contact your
authorized dealer with any questions.
• Allow the machine to cool for at least five minutes in an open
area before cleaning.
NOTE: Using a pressure washer or garden hose is not
recommended for cleaning your tractor other than to
clean the underside of the deck. It may cause damage to
electrical components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the
engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.
• Keep both sides of transmission cooling slots, exhaust
manifold, around fuses, all wiring and harnesses, muffler
pipe, muffler shield, engine intake screens and cooling fins,
etc. clear of grass clippings and leaves. See Figure 31.

• Clean the top of the mower deck, under the spindle covers
and belt area. See Figure 32.

• Clean around and near the transmission, axle and the fan
area. See Figure 33.

• Debris can accumulate anywhere on the tractor, especially
on horizontal surfaces. Additional cleaning may be necessary
when mowing in dry conditions or when mulching.
• Fuel leaks/spills, oil leaks/spills and excess lubrication can
also become collection sites for debris. Immediate repair and
cleaning up oil or fuel spills can help reduce fire hazards.
• In addition to cleaning the tractor before operating and
storing, do not attempt to mow unusually tall grass (10”
(25.4 cm) or higher), dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry
leaves. Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust
and/or build up on the mower deck presenting a potential
fire hazard.
