Slopes
WHEN OPERATING THE DR FIELD AND BRUSH MOWER OVER UNEVEN TERRAIN OR SLOPES, USE
EXTREME CAUTION NOT TO TIP THE MACHINE OVER.
1. Do not use the DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Doing so
could result in serious injury or damage to your
machine.
2. If you have to mow on sloping terrain, mow
across the slope, not up and down, for better
control.
Tip: Locking IN the differential will improve traction,
and keep the machine traveling on a straighter
path. Once on level terrain, Lock OUT the
differential for easier turning.
3. To avoid “free-wheeling”, shift into a lower gear
before going down a slope. Do not shift while
on a slope.
4. Note that the mowing deck pivots from side to
side, which helps avoid scalping, and keeps
the weight balanced over the drive wheels
when operating on uneven terrain (
Figure 7 ).
If the machine gets hung up
1. Disengage the blade. Do not 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 (
Figure 8 ).

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, SET THE BRAKE AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK
PLUG WIRE(S).
•
DO NOT TOUCH THE EXHAUST AREAS WHEN REACHING FOR THE SPARK PLUG(S)—THEY ARE VERY
HOT.
