Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, 
oil, etc.
•  Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.
We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure 
washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans-
mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or 
transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor.  Use 
compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves 
and trash from tractor and mower.
CLEANING
•  Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of all foreign 
matter.
•  Clean debris from steering plate.  Debris can restrict 
clutch/brake pedal shaft movement, causing belt slip 
and loss of drive.
CAUTION:  
Avoid all pinch points and 
movable parts (See Fig. 20)
