Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped off promptly. 

Do NOT allow debris to accumulate around the cooling fins of the 

engine, the transmission’s cooling fan or on any other part of the 

machine.  

Your tractor’s deck is equipped with a water port on its surface as 

part of its deck wash system.
Use the Smart Jet to rinse grass clippings from the deck’s underside 

and prevent the buildup of corrosive chemicals. Complete the 

following steps AFTER EACH MOWING:
1. 

Drive the tractor to a level, clear spot on your lawn, near 

enough for your garden hose to reach.

Make certain the tractor’s discharge 

chute is directed AWAY from your house, garage, 

parked cars, etc. 

1. 

Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake and stop the 

engine.

2. 

Thread the hose coupler (packaged with your tractor’s 

Operator’s Manual) onto the end of your garden hose.

3. 

Attach the hose coupler to the water port on your decks 

surface. See Figure 6-2.

4. 

Turn the water on.

5. 

While sitting in the operator’s position on the tractor, start 
the engine and place the throttle lever in the FAST 

 

position.

6. 

Move the tractor’s PTO into the engaged (ON) position.

7. 

Remain in the operator’s position with the cutting deck 

engaged for a minimum of two minutes, allowing the 

underside of the cutting deck to thoroughly rinse.

8. 

Move the tractor’s PTO into the disengaged (OFF) position.

9. 

Turn the ignition key to the STOP   position to turn the 

tractor’s engine off.

10.  Turn the water off and detach the hose coupler from the 

water port on your deck’s surface.
NOTE: On 50” and 54” decks there are two water ports; one 

on each side of the deck.

11.  After cleaning your deck with the Smart Jet system, return to 

the operator’s position and engage the PTO. Keep the cutting 

deck running for a minimum of two minutes, allowing the 

underside of the cutting deck to thoroughly dry.

Before lubricating, repairing, or 

inspecting, always disengage the PTO, set the 

parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key 

to prevent unintended starting.

Each of the front wheel axles and rims is equipped with a grease 

fitting. See Figure 6-3 for the location of the grease fitting on the 

axles and Figure 6-4 for the location of the grease fitting on the 

rims. Lubricate with a No. 2 multi-purpose grease applied with a 

grease gun after every 25 hours of tractor operation.
