Engaging the Wheel Drive
The DR SCOUT FIELD and BRUSH MOWER has a three-speed forward transmission and single-speed
reverse. Forward speeds range from 1.1 mph in first gear to 2.2 mph in third gear. Use the lower gears
for mowing in thick, woody vegetation and the higher gears for wide-open areas and lighter vegetation,
or as "travel gears." Reverse is ideal for maneuvering in tight spots.
NOTE: Always release the Wheel Clutch Lever (Figure 1, on page 12) when shifting gears.
1. Move the Shift Lever to the desired gear (Figure 4).
2. Gently squeeze the Wheel Clutch Lever to engage a gear.
3. Release the Wheel Clutch Lever if you need to slow down or stop.

2. Engage the Blade by squeezing the Blade Clutch Lever (Figure 1).

will shut off.
ALWAYS DISENGAGE THE BLADE OF THE DR SCOUT FIELD and BRUSH MOWER BEFORE SHIFTING
INTO REVERSE.
