ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
To ensure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen,
cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine are
kept clean at all times.
Every 100 hours of operation (more often under extremely
dusty, dirty conditions), remove the blower housing and other
cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling fins and external surfaces
as necessary. Ensure the cooling shrouds are reinstalled.
NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen,
dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds re moved
will cause engine damage due to overheating.
MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester (if
equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or damage.
SPARK PLUGS
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing
season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever
occurs first. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in
"PROD UCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual.

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.
DECK WASHOUT PORT (See Fig. 19)
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. Ensure 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.
