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 9).

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.

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.

Cold Weather Operation

At temperatures below 30°F and a high dew point, your DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Engine may experience icing of the

carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. DR Power Equipment offers an optional Engine cover to prevent icing in these

weather conditions. You can purchase the cover through DR Power Equipment by visiting our website at www.DRpower.com.

Please have your DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Model# and Serial# at hand when the call is placed.

Tip: As a preventative measure to prevent control cable freeze up; prior to using your DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER in cold

weather, inject “dry gas” into the Brake, and Clutch cable-housing openings to absorb any moisture that may have collected. Tip

the machine forward slightly so the “dry gas” will flow down the inside of the housings, and then lubricate as outlined on page 17.
