DR
ALL-TERRAIN
FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Safety & Operating Instructions 19
Slopes
1. We do not recommend using
the DR
ALL-
TERRAIN
FIELD and
BRUSH MOWER
continuously on slopes greater
than 25 degrees. Doing so
could deprive the engine of oil
and cause it to overheat.
2. To avoid freewheeling, shift
into a lower gear before going
down a slope. Do not shift
while on a slope.
3. Note that the mowing deck
pivots from side to side (15 degrees in either direction), which helps avoid scalping, and
keeps the weight balanced over the drive wheels when operating on uneven terrain
(Figure 7).
If the machine gets hung up
1. Disengage the blade. Do not
try to free the machine from
stumps or debris while the
blade is engaged.
2. Try putting the machine in
reverse and backing away
from the obstacle.
3. Try pushing down on the
handlebars to lift the mowing
deck over the obstacle
(Figure 8).

WARNING! If you need to leave the operating position to clear debris
from the deck, first put the machine in "N" (Neutral), turn the engine off,
set the brake and disconnect the spark plug wire(s).
WARNING! DO NOT touch the exhaust areas when reaching for the
spark plug(s)—they are very hot.
