TRIMMER/MOWER
NOTE:
In PTA
mode, the Trimmer’s Wheels stay straight while the Trimmer
Head tilts (
Figure 16
). The Cutting Cords extend beyond the wheelbase in the PTA
mode (
Figure 16
), allowing you to easily cut under obstacles. The Trimmer Head
and the Cutting Cords also tilt slightly in PTA
mode so you can edge and trim
along gardens, paths, and driveways (
Figure 16
). When using PTA
along garden
edges, fences, and buildings, we recommend making your first pass with the DR
TRIMMER/MOWER in the Normal mowing position, staying 4 to 8 inches from the
obstacle; and then return for another pass with the machine in PTA
mode.
