Default Mower dealer said do not wash mower

I just bought a new Scag Turf Tiger mower. One of the things that the
dealer told me was not to wash it. He said to just blow it off with a
blower or air hose. He said that water will rust the bearings and it is
best never to wash it. I have never heard of this. I got the impression
that it wasn't just for Scag but is meant for all mowers. We live in a
very dusty environment and I have always washed the mower after mowing.
Has anyone heard of this? Comments?

Thanks,

Roger


I had a Bolens mulching mower that had a nose connection on it to wash the
underside of the deck. Hook up the hose, start the mower, then turn on the
water.
