Country Home Products FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Slopes, If the machine gets hung up

Slopes

1. We do not recommend using

the DRALL-

TERRAIN FIELD and

BRUSH MOWER continuously on slopes greater than 25 degrees. Doing so could deprive the engine of oil and cause it to overheat.

2. To avoid freewheeling, shift
into a lower gear before going
down a slope. Do not shift	Figure 7
while on a slope.

3.Note that the mowing deck

pivots from side to side (15 degrees in either direction), 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). Push Down on Handlebars to Clear Debris

Figure 8

WARNING! 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).

WARNING! DO NOT touch the exhaust areas when reaching for the spark plug(s)—they are very hot.
