DANGER
The electrical components on this rider are not serviceable.
Please contact an authorized service dealer for any service
needs.
DANGER
Have your rider serviced by qualified service personnel
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the rider is maintained.
Post-Operation Rider Care
After each operation of the rider, the following
procedures should be implemented to extend
the life of your rider and ensure safe operating
conditions.
DANGER
Failure to follow these recommendations may result in
serious injury to yourself or others and may cause damage
to the rider.
Cleaning the Underside of the Deck
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, do not use water to clean the rider,
battery or battery charger. Do not use strong detergents.
Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and
lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic.
The underside of rider deck should be cleaned
after each use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt and
other debris will accumulate. This accumulation
of grass clippings, etc., is undesirable as it will
promote rust and corrosion.
1. Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on
or around the motor (DO NOT USE WATER).
Wipe the rider clean with a dry cloth.
2. If debris is allowed to build up on the
underside of the machine, tilt the rider
forward or on its side and clean with a
suitable tool.
Important: Do not use a pressure washer or
garden hose to clean your rider. These may cause
damage to electric components or the electric
motor. The use of water will result in shortened life
and reduce serviceability.

Cleaning the Rider
WARNING
If the rider has been recently run, metal surfaces will be
hot and can cause burns to the skin. Let the rider cool for at
least five minutes. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
Your rider should be cleaned after each use and
under certain conditions, i.e. dry conditions and/
or mulching situations, additional cleaning may be
necessary.
One of the best ways to keep your rider running
efficiently and to reduce fire risk is to regularly
remove debris buildup from the rider. Follow
the recommendations below and contact your
authorized dealer with any questions.
• Allow the machine to cool in an open area
before cleaning.
• Do not use water on any part of the rider.
Doing so can cause damage to the rider's
electrical components and motor. The use
of compressed air and/or leaf blower or a
brush, damp sponge or rag will help keep
the rider clean.
• Clean around fuses, all wiring and harnesses,
etc.
• Clean the top of the rider deck. See Figure 4-1.

• Debris can accumulate anywhere on the
rider, especially on horizontal surfaces.
Additional cleaning may be necessary
when mowing in dry conditions or when
mulching.
• Excess lubrication can become collection
sites for debris. Immediate repair and
cleaning up excess lubrication can help
reduce fire hazards.
• In addition to cleaning the rider before
operating and storing, do not attempt to
mow unusually tall grass (10" or higher), dry
grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves.
Dry grass or leaves may build up on the rider
deck presenting a potential fire hazard.
Storing the Rider
• Allow the machine to cool in an open area
before storing.
• Do not park the rider near any flammable
materials (wood, cloth or chemicals) or any
open flames or other potential source of
ignition (furnace, water heater or any other
type of heater).
• Remove all combustible materials from the
rider before storing. Empty cargo boxes,
grass catchers or containers.
• Fully charge the batteries and recharge the
batteries every 30 days when in storage.
