• We do not recommend driving over 5 mph on flat terrain and over 4 mph on rough terrain while operating the DR TOW-BEHIND
FIELD and BRUSH MOWER.
• Never use a truck (2 or 4wd) or jeep to operate the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER. It would be difficult to see and
operate the mower controls from these types of tow vehicles. Using these vehicles will void the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and
BRUSH MOWER warranty.

This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping the new DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER and discusses
basic operation features. It may be helpful to review the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Controls and Features before
reading this chapter.
Operating Parameters
We recommend a few types of Tow Vehicles for the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER. The Tow Vehicle may be either 2
or 4-wheel drive, but some vehicle types are not suitable for rough, hilly terrain or heavy brush conditions. See the Tow Vehicle
Restrictions section.
• ATV 420 cc minimum
• Lawn/Garden Tractor (20 hp and above and weighing at least 600 pounds)
• Utility Vehicle
• Compact or Sub-Compact Tractor
Tow Vehicle Restrictions:
- Be able to secure the Blade Engage/Disengage Remote Control of the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER within easy
reach of the driver seated on the Tow Vehicle.
- Riding Lawn Mowers with Engines under 20 hp and weighing less than 600 pounds are not suitable for use on slopes greater than
5º.
- Never operate the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER on slopes greater than 20º using any type of Tow Vehicle.
- If the Tow Vehicle will not travel by itself over the terrain, then it will not be suitable as a Tow Vehicle.
Tip: Riding Lawn Mowers will work best as a Tow Vehicle with their cutting deck removed.
• This machine is designed for cutting grass and brush. Never use this machine for any other purpose as it could cause serious
injury.
• Contact with internal rotating parts will cause serious personal injury. Never put hands, face, feet, or clothing under the deck or
near the discharge area with the engine running.
• Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the Engine and wait five (5) minutes to allow all parts to stop and
cool. Disconnect the spark plug wires keeping them away from the spark plugs.
