CALL TOLL FREE 1-800-DR-OWNER 19
Slopes
• WHEN OPERATING THE DR SCOUT FIELD and BRUSH MOWER OVER UNEVEN TERRAIN OR
SLOPES, USE EXTREME CAUTION NOT TO TIP THE MACHINE OVER.
• NEVER USE THE DR SCOUT FIELD and BRUSH MOWER ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 20 DEGREES
(FIGURE 6). DOING SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO YOUR MACHINE.
1. If you have to mow on sloping terrain, mow across the slope, not up and down, for better control.
2. To avoid “free-wheeling”, shift into a lower gear before going down a slope. NEVER shift while on a
slope.
If the machine gets hung up
1. Disengage the Blade. NEVER try to free the machine from stumps or debris while the Blade is engaged.
2. Try putting the machine in reverse and backing away from the obstacle.
3. Try pushing down on the handlebars to lift the mowing deck over the obstacle.
• IF YOU NEED TO LEAVE THE OPERATING POSITION TO CLEAR DEBRIS FROM THE DECK, FIRST PUT THE
MACHINE IN "N" (NEUTRAL), TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE.
• NEVER TOUCH THE EXHAUST AREAS WHEN REACHING FOR THE SPARK PLUG—THEY ARE VERY HOT.
