Mowing on Slopes
Tip: Cross Drive operation - When mowing on side hills, press the uphill Drive Lever more than the downhill Lever so the machine
steers slightly up the hill. This should keep the machine moving in a straighter line without additional operator effort. Operate the
opposite Levers for Inline Drive setups.
Obstacle Tips
Dealing with obstacles in the terrain is easy with your new DR 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.

If you do run into debris and the mower becomes tangled, turn off the Engine, allow the engine to cool for 5 minutes and
disconnect the Spark Plug wire(s) before attempting to untangle the machine.
If the machine gets hung up
1. Disengage the Blade. Do not try to free the machine from stumps or debris with the Blade engaged.
2. Push down on the Handlebars to lift the Mowing Deck over the obstacle.
3. Move the machine in reverse and try backing away from the obstacle.
Transporting
Ensure the Transmissions are engaged before transporting the machine in a truck (see Engaging/Disengaging the Transmissions
on page 12). Also use Wood Chocks for the Wheels and Tie-down Straps so the machine does not shift during transport. There are
four convenient and secure Tie Down points on the Frame.

The mower’s blade can easily 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.
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents. All slopes require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Always take the following precautions when using this machine on slopes:

Always mow across the face of slopes. Do not mow up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Never operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.

Never operate on wet or slippery slopes.

When operating the DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER over uneven terrain or slopes, use extreme caution not to tip the machine
over.

Use a much slower speed when mowing on slopes.

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.

Be very careful of your footing when operating the machine in reverse. Know what's behind you and take your time.

Mow when moving Forward only, using Reverse for maneuvering.
