Backlapping the Cutting Units (continued)
4. Lower and latch the operator’s seat.
5. Wash all lapping compound off from the cutting units.
6. For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front face of the bedknife after lapping.
Note: This removes any burrs or rough edges that may have built up on the cutting
edge.

Inspecting the Seat Belt

component does not operate properly.
2. Clean the seat belt as necessary.
Cleaning
Washing the Machine
Wash the machine as needed using water alone or with a mild detergent. You may use a rag
when washing the machine.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use brackish or reclaimed water to clean the machine.
• Do not use power-washing equipment to wash the machine. Power-washing
equipment may damage the electrical system, loosen important decals, or wash
away necessary grease at friction points. Avoid excessive use of water near the
control panel, engine, and battery.
• Do not wash the machine with the engine running. Washing the machine with the
engine running may result in internal engine damage.
