Slopes and Uneven Terrain
If the Machine Gets Hung Up
1. Disengage Blades and STOP Engine. NEVER try to free machine from stumps or debris with blades engaged.
2. Try driving over or backing away from obstacles.
Cutting Brush and Saplings
• This machine can cut up to 3-inch saplings. Anything over this size should not be cut by use of this machine.
• When cutting wood material, small saplings, etc., allow the machine to ride up and over material slowly. Adjust the forward speed to
varying conditions.
• After cutting brush, etc., it may warrant mowing over it again to remove any remaining branches. It works best to mow from trunk end
toward top as brush lies on the ground.
Cutting Wet and Heavy Growth
• Avoid steep slopes and other slippery areas.
• Use a lower, slower speed when mowing in wet conditions.
Heavy Impacts
• If the machine stalls due to a severe, unintended, impact, immediately shut off the machine.
• With the machine shut off, inspect both blade assemblies for bent or worn blades.
• With the machine shut off, inspect and retorque both bolts that secure the blade assemblies. Refer to “Removing and Replacing the
Fixed Blades”.
• To leave tow vehicle to clear debris from mower deck, set parking brake and shut off tow vehicle engine, disengage mower blades,
shut off DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER engine, and disconnect spark plug wires.
• Never touch exhaust areas when reaching for spark plugs; they may be very hot.
• Check owner’s manual of the tow vehicle to determine its recommended towing capabilities on slopes.
• When operating DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER over uneven terrain or slopes, use extreme caution not to tip over
machine.
• Never use DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Doing so could result in serious
injury or damage to machine.
• If mowing on sloping terrain less than 20 degrees, mow up and down, never across the slope, for better control.
