4. INSPECTION OF GAUGE WHEELS
As the gauge wheels are installed on the rear ends of
the mower deck, they are more vulnerable to being hit
and deformed by obstacles than any other part. When
a gauge wheel (1) does not turn smoothly or is de-
formed, replace it with a new gauge wheel immediately.

hard to turn, disassemble them and
clean them.

them sufficiently:
6. CLEANING OF MOWER DECK
a. Remove belt cover, and clear the grass and dust ac-
cumulated under the cover before operation, or short-
er service life of the belts and damage to bearings and
oil seals will be caused.
CAUTION: Be sure to replace the removed
cover after cleaning.

b. Pour the water into mower deck from water hose
plugs (1) and turn the blade.
c. After mowing, clear the underside of the mower deck
and blades of accumulated grass and dirt. Especially
after operation in wet grass, wash them without fail,
or accumulated wet grass and dirt will cause perfor-
mance deterioration.
CAUTION: When pouring the water into
mower deck to clean, be sure to make revo-
lution of engine low.
