STORAGE 
1
. Remove the mower deck from the tractor. 
2. Turn the mower deck upside down. Clean the 
underside of the deck with water, and dry 
thoroughly. 
3. 
For longer service and greater efficiency, keep 
the underside of the mower housing clean and 
free of accumulated grass clippings by washing 
it 
down with a hose after use and/or cleaning it 
with a wire brush and scraper. Remove any rust 
and apply a rust-resistant paint. Cleaning and 
rust prevention are especially important before 
seasonal storage. 
Washing the deck directly after 
use can cause premature bearing wear. 
Allow the deck to cool before washing, then 
run the deck to remove any excess moisture.
