Cleaning the Mower

The underside of the mower deck should be checked and cleaned twice daily and more often if the grass being mowed is lush or wet. The entire mower should be cleaned at the end of each work day.

• Cleaning should be done with a leaf blower or low-pressure compressed air.
• Wash with water only when necessary. Do not use a pressure washer or nozzle, as the water can enter bearings and electrical connections, causing an electrical short, rust, and corrosion.
• When washing with water, avoid spraying near the hydro cap and do so when the unit has cooled down.
• Washing a hot machine can cause various unseen system damage.
• If water is used for cleaning the machine, immediately dry it with a leaf blower or low-pressure compressed air and run it with blades engaged for approximately 10 minutes.
• Once the wash is complete, always lubricate and grease all applicable areas.
