TOW BEHIND DR
®
FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
Keep your foot clear of the mower deck when adjusting the height. You could
pinch your foot if it is under the deck.
The Height Adjust Handle should always be pinned in the down position for
mowing. This prevents the Height Adjuster from rotating and lowering Deck
during use.
Engaging the Blades
1. Engage the Blades by pulling up on the Blade Control Safety Cover and
pushing forward on the Blade Control Switch (Figure 16).
Stopping the Blades
1. Push down on the Blade Control Safety Cover (Figure 14).
Adjusting the Mower Deck Height
Note: The TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Deck cutting Height
ranges from a minimum of 4" to a maximum of 7.5".
1. Remove the Locking Pin from the Height Adjuster (Figure 17).
2. Lift the Handle up to the operating position and re-install the Locking Pin
(Figure 18).
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the Height Adjuster on the opposite side.
Note: Rotating the Height Adjusters Clockwise will lower the Mower Deck. Rotating
the Height Adjusters Counter Clockwise will raise the Mower Deck. Ten full
rotations equal 1" of height change.
4. Rotate both Height Adjusters in the desired direction, switching sides about
every ten full turns, until the top of the Sway Brace is aligned with the
desired cutting height lines on the Height Adjust label. (Figure 19).
5. After the height is set the same on both sides of the machine, rotate the
Handle to the inside of the Frame, pull the Locking Pin, fold the Handle
down and insert the Locking Pin to secure the Handle in the down position.
