[AT] Slip Plate, Teflon and Bacon Grease

[Howard Weeks]

The instructions on mine indicate that the user should start the mower 
and run the blades up to grass cutting speed for a bit. Supposedly, the 
high lift blades will slam the water against the bottom of the deck 
pretty hard and flush it out. I haven't tried it but the directions make 
sense.
