DR ALL-TERRAIN FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Safety & Operating Instructions 19
Cutting Brush & 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 clutch lever as you put
the shift lever into reverse, then quickly release the clutch lever.
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.
