Cleaning a Ride-On mower

For your Ride-On mower to work optimally and at the best capacity, you need to clean it before and after each use.

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.

WARNING: Before cleaning the product make sure to turn it off.
