Washing the Underside of the
Mower
After each use, wash the underside of the mower to
prevent grass buildup for improved mulch action and
clipping dispersal.
1. Park the machine on a hard level surface, disengage
the PTO, stop the engine, and remove the ignition key.
2. Attach the hose coupling to the end of the mower
washout fitting, and turn the water on high (Fig. 47).
Note: Spread petroleum jelly on the washout fitting o-ring
to make the coupling slide on easier and protect the
o-ring.
