Slopes and Uneven Terrain

If the machine gets hung up

1. Disengage the Blades and STOP the Engine. NEVER try to free the machine from stumps or debris with the Blades engaged.

2. Try driving over or backing away from the obstacle.

Cutting Brush and Saplings

 The cutting capacity is 3" 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.

Cutting Wet and Heavy Growth

 Avoid steep slopes and other slippery areas.

 Use a lower, slower speed when mowing in wet conditions.

 If you need to leave the tow vehicle to clear debris from the mower deck, set the parking brake and shut off the tow vehicle

engine, disengage the mower blades, shut off the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER engine and disconnect the

spark plug wire(s).

 Never touch the exhaust areas when reaching for the spark plugs; they may be very hot.

 Check the owner’s manual for your tow vehicle to determine its recommended towing capabilities on slopes.

 When operating the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER over uneven terrain or slopes, use extreme caution not to

tip over the machine.

 Never use the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Doing so could result in

serious injury or damage to your machine.

 If you have to mow on sloping terrain, mow up and down, never across the slope, for better control.
