McCulloch M23-48T Manual Do Proprietário

Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester (if 

equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or damage.

The fuel filter should be replaced once each season.  If fuel 

filter becomes clogged, ob struct ing fuel flow to car bu re tor, 

re place ment is re quired.
• 

With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sec tions.

•  Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow 

pointing towards carburetor.

•  Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are 

properly positioned.

•  Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.

• 

Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, 

oil, etc.

•  Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.
Except for the washout port (if equipped), we do not 

recommend using a garden hose or pressure washer to 

clean the outside of your tractor unless the engine and 

transmission 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 outside tractor and mower.

•  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.

Your tractor’s deck is equipped with a washout port as part 

of its deck wash system. It should be utilized after each use. 
1.  Drive the tractor to a level, clear spot on your lawn, near 

enough to a water spigot for your garden hose to reach.

IMPORTANT: Make certain the tractor’s discharge chute is 

directed AWAY from your house, garage, parked cars, etc. 

Remove bagger chute or mulch cover if attached.
2. Make sure the attachment clutch control is in the 

“DIS EN GAGED” position, set the parking brake, and 

stop the engine.

3.  Thread the nozzle adapter (packaged with your tractor’s 

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

4.  Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter and push 

the adapter onto the deck washout port at the left end 

of the mower deck. Release the lock collar to lock the 

adapter on the nozzle. 

IMPORTANT: Tug hose ensuring connection is secure.
5.  Turn the water on.
6.  While sitting in the operator’s position on the tractor, 

re-start the engine and place the throttle lever in the 

Fast "

" position. 

IMPORTANT: Recheck the area to ensure the area is clear.  

Ensure no children are in the area while cleaning the deck.
7. Move the tractor’s attachment clutch control to the 

“ENGAGED” position. Remain in the operator’s position 

with the cutting deck engaged until the deck is cleaned. 

8. Move the tractor’s attachment clutch control to the 

“DIS EN GAGED” position. Turn the ignition key to the 

STOP position to turn the tractor’s engine off. Turn the 

water off.

9.  Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter to discon-

nect the adapter from the nozzle washout port. 

10. Move the tractor to a dry area, preferably a concrete or 

paved area. Place the attachment clutch control in the 

“ENGAGED” position to remove excess water and to 

help dry before putting the tractor away. 

•  Replace broken or missing washout fitting 

•  Plug any holes in mower with bolts and locknuts.
