CALL TOLL-FREE 1-800-DR-OWNER 25
Offset Mowing
The Out-Rigger™ Tow Bar allows you to offset the cutting path of the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH
MOWER up to 100% from the Tow Vehicle. The provided locking positions are 0%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.
Offset mowing allows you to mow closer to equipment, trees, and fences and to drive in area already cut.
WHEN PERFORMING OFFSET MOWING, ALWAYS BE SURE THAT THE OUT-RIGGER™ TOW BAR ANGLE
SETTING (FIGURE 15) AND THE VERSA-HITCH™ ANGLE SETTING MATCH. THIS ALLOWS THE TOW-
BEHIND DR FIELD AND BRUSH MOWER TO TRACK PARALLEL TO THE TOW VEHICLE.
Offset at the Tow Bar Mount Plate:
1. Pull the Handle of the Tow Bar Locking
Pin up so its Cross Pin is above the Tow
Bar and then twist the Handle 90º so
the Cross Pin rests on the Tow Bar
(Figure 15).
2. Pull the Mower, using the Push Bar,
until the Locking Pin approximately
aligns with the Offset angle desired
(Figure 15).
3. Pull up the Handle on the Locking Pin,
twist it 90º, and drop Pin back into the
Tow Bar Mount Plate.
4. Verify that the Locking Pin has dropped
into the desired Offset position by
moving the Mower slightly from side to
side. If it is not already locked, you will
hear the Locking Pin drop into place.
Offset at the Versa-Hitch™:
5. Remove the Safety Hitch Pin (Figure 16)
from the Versa-Hitch™ and pull the
Out-Rigger™ Tow Bar to the position
that matches the Tow Bar position on
the Deck. Re-attach the Safety Hitch
Pin.
NOTE: The Versa-Hitch™ is parallel to the
machine when the Offset at the Deck
and the Offset at the Hitch are
matched correctly.
