Washout Port
(915148, 150, 170)
(Figure 7)
NOTE: Wash the underside of the mower
after each use to prevent grass buildup and
improve mulch action and clipping dispersal.
1. Park the unit on a level surface, within
reach of hose and in a location where
the dispersal of wet grass clippings is
acceptable.
2. Disengage the PTO switch, shut off the
engine, remove key, engage parking
brake and allow unit to cool for at least
30 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Do not wash the unit with water
when the unit is warm from operation. Water
can seep into bearings and cause damage.
3. Attach the hose coupling to a standard
garden hose connected to a water
supply.
4. Pull back the lock collar of the hose
coupling and push the coupling onto the
deck port until the coupling it tightly in
place. Release the lock collar to lock the
coupling to the deck port.
NOTE: Apply petroleum jelly to washout
fitting O-ring to allow the coupling to slide on
easier and to protect the O-ring.
NOTE: The coupling contains a valve that will
not allow water flow unless coupling is
attached to washout fitting. Water supply
should be turned off before attaching coupling
to the fitting.
5. Lower deck to lowest cutting height.
6. Turn the water supply on high.
WARNING: A broken or missing
deck port can result in exposure to
harmful thrown objects or blade
contact.
Replace broken or missing deck
port before using unit.
NEVER put your hands or feet
under the mower or through
openings in the mower.
