Cleaning Debris From Traction Drive System

Compressed air can cause debris to fly a long distance.

• Clear work area of bystanders.

• Wear eye protection when using compressed air for cleaning purposes.

• Reduce compressed air pressure to 210 kPa (30 psi).

To ensure proper cooling, keep the transmission cooling fins and surrounding area clean at all times. Operating the machine with obstructed cooling fins could cause transmission damage due to overheating.

  1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

  2. Lift operator seat and lock into position.

  3. Do not use chlorinated solvents or high pressure water to clean grass and debris from transmission fan, cooling fins and reservoir.
