PREMIER 26" ALL-TERRAIN MOWER
If the machine gets hung up
Disengage the Blade. NEVER try to free the machine from stumps or debris with the Blade engaged.
Try putting the machine in reverse and backing away from the obstacle.
Try pushing down on the handlebars to lift the mowing deck over the obstacle.
Cutting Brush and Saplings
When cutting woody material, small saplings, etc., allow the machine to ride up and over material slowly. Adjust your forward
speed to varying conditions.
After cutting brush, etc., you may want to mow over it again to remove any remaining branches. It works best to mow from the
trunk end toward the top as brush lies on the ground.
Reverse
1. Be very careful of your footing when operating the machine in reverse. Know what is behind you and take your time.
2. Disengage the Blade before shifting into reverse. Mow in the forward gears only, using reverse for maneuvering.
3. If you find it difficult to shift into reverse, lightly "feather" the Traction Drive Lever as you put the Shift Lever into reverse, then
quickly release the Lever.
4. Gently squeeze the Traction Drive Lever to start moving in reverse.
Cutting in Wet and Heavy Growth
1. Be very careful of your footing when mowing in wet conditions. Avoid steep slopes and other slippery areas.
2. Use a lower, slower speed when mowing in wet conditions.
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 and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Never touch the exhaust areas when reaching for the spark plug—they are very hot.
