Care for Plastic and Painted Surfaces
PLASTIC SURFACES
The plastic parts on your tractor are made of a blend of
polycarbonate and polyester materials. These parts are
extremely strong and durable. Unlike painted metal, the
plastic parts will never dent or rust. If the plastic parts
get scratched, the color will remain the same since the
color goes through the entire part.
Correct Cleaning Care:
NOTE: Follow cleaning procedure every time plastic
surfaces are cleaned. DO NOT wipe dry plastic
surface with hand or towel.
1. Before washing, rinse hood and entire machine with
clean water to remove dirt and dust that may scratch the
surface.
2. Wash plastic surface with clean water and a mild
liquid automotive washing soap. Use a SOFT, CLEAN
cloth (bath towel or automotive mitt) when washing.
3. Dry thoroughly with a SOFT, CLEAN cloth (diaper or
bath towel).
4. Wax the surface with a liquid automotive wax. Use
products that specifically say “contains no abrasives”.
5. Remove applied wax by hand using a clean, soft
cloth.
Avoid Damage:
• “Dry wiping” or wiping the plastic surface when it is
dry is a major source of minor surface scratches.
• DO NOT wipe hood or other plastic parts unless
wetted first.
• DO NOT apply wax unless plastic surface has been
thoroughly cleaned first.
• DO NOT use abrasive materials, such as polishing
compounds, to clean or to wax plastic surface.
• DO NOT wax plastic surfaces without drying first.
Hard-to-remove water spots will be left.
• DO NOT use solvents or commercial cleaners.
IMPORTANT: Avoid machine damage. “Dry
wiping” or wiping the plastic surface when it is
dry will result in minor surface scratches. Always
wet the surface before cleaning. Follow correct
cleaning and waxing procedures.
