Obstacle Tips
Dealing with obstacles in the terrain is easy with your new DR
SCOUT
FIELD and
BRUSH
MOWER. The following section explains how to approach most common
obstacles.
Always check your work area before mowing and remove any debris that might tangle
or damage the machine.
WARNING!
The mower engine's power can potentially throw stones,
sticks and other debris at great velocity, which could cause personal injury
or property damage. DO NOT run the machine over gravel driveways or
over loose stones or mulch with the mower blade spinning.

WARNING!
DO NOT touch the exhaust areas when reaching for the
spark plug—they are very hot.
WARNING!
If you do run into debris and the mower becomes tangled,
turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before attempting to
untangle the machine.
