To clean the product

CAUTION: Do not use a high-

pressure washer or a steam cleaner.

Water can go into bearings and electrical

connections and cause corrosion which

causes damage to the product.

Clean the product immediately after use.

• Do not clean hot surfaces such as the engine,

muffler and exhaust system. Wait until the

surfaces are cool, then remove the grass or dirt.

• Before you clean with water, clean with a brush.

Remove grass and dirt on and around the

transmission, the transmission air intake, and the

engine.

• Use running water from a hose to clean the

product. Do not use high-pressure.

and dirt. Grass cuttings soaked in fuel or oil on the

engine can increase the fire risk and the risk that the

engine becomes too hot. Let the engine cool before

it is cleaned. Clean with water and a brush.

Grass cuttings around the muffler dry quickly and are

a fire risk. Use a brush or remove the grass cuttings

with water when the muffler is cold.
