FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
Cutting Brush and Saplings
1. When cutting woody material, small saplings, etc., allow the machine to ride up and over material
slowly. Adjust your forward speed to varying conditions (Figure 7).
2. 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.
Reverse
1. Be very careful of your footing when operating the machine in reverse. Know what's behind you and
take your time.
2. Disengage the Blade before shifting into reverse. Mow in the forward gears only, using reverse for
maneuvering.
3. If you find it difficult to shift into reverse, lightly "feather" the Wheel Clutch Lever as you put the Shift
Lever into reverse, then quickly release the Wheel Clutch Lever.
4. Gently squeeze the Wheel Clutch Lever to start moving in reverse.
Cutting in Wet and Heavy Growth
1. Be very careful of your footing when mowing in wet conditions. Avoid steep slopes and other slippery
areas.
2. Use a lower, slower speed when mowing in wet conditions.
