Troubleshooting, Adjustments, & Service
Mower Deck Washout Port (46”
Mower Decks Only)
The washout port allows you to connect a typical
garden hose to the trim side (L.H.) of the mower deck
to remove grass and debris from the underside. This
ensures proper and safe operation of the mower.
1. Place the unit on a smooth level surface.
2. Lower the mower deck to its lowest cutting position.
3. Attach the quick disconnect (A, Figure 50) to the
garden hose (B) and connect to the washout port
(C) on the mower deck. Turn the water on high.
4. While sitting on the operator’s seat, start the
engine and turn the PTO switch ON. Allow the
mower to run until the deck only discharges water.
5. Turn the PTO switch OFF, stop the engine and
wait for all moving parts to stop.
6. Turn the water off. Remove the garden hose and
quick disconnect from the washout port when
completed.
WARNING
Before running the mower, make sure the
hose is properly connected and does not
come into contact with the blades. When the
mower is running and the blades are engaged,
the person cleaning the mower deck must be
in the operator’s position, and there are no
bystanders. Failure to follow these precautions
may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
A broken or missing washout port could
expose you or others to thrown objects or
blade contact. Contact with blade of thrown
debris can cause injury or death.
• Replace broken or missing washout fitting
immediately, before using mower again.
