If the machine gets hung up

3. Shift the machine in reverse and try backing away from the obstacle.
Cutting Brush and Saplings
DECK PIVOT BOLT ADJUSTMENT (aggressive mowing conditions)
For aggressive mowing (Brush and Saplings) the Deck can be held stationary so the Blade cuts with more stability.
Note: The Carriage Bolts should be adjusted all the way up for aggressive mowing. The entire machine must be on a flat surface for the
following procedures.
Tools Needed:
1/2" Wrench
3/4" Wrench
1. Loosen both Locknuts using a 3/4" Wench as you hold the square portion of
the Carriage Bolts using a 1/2" Wrench (Figure 24).
2. Turn the Carriage Bolts up using a 1/2" Wrench until the round heads are
contacting the Deck Bracket.
3. Turn the Locknut down against Deck Bracket and hold the Carriage Bolt as
you tighten the Locknut.
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.
Removing the Brush Deck
It is recommended that the deck only be removed when installing other
attachments or performing maintenance.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
Gloves
Flat Head Screwdriver
1. Unscrew the Knob that secures the Belt Guard to the Deck and remove the
Guard (Figure 25).
2. Place a screw driver between Blade Pulley and Belt.
If you need to leave the operating position to clear debris from the deck, stop the engine, wait five minutes to allow all parts to
cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire(s), keeping it away from the spark plug(s).

The Power Unit should always have an Attachment installed for stability.
