SCOUT FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Safety & Operating Instructions 14
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 7)
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. Shift into REVERSE.
Tip: If you find it difficult to shift into reverse, lightly "feather" the wheel clutch lever as
you put the shift lever into reverse, then immediately release the clutch lever.
4. Gently squeeze the wheel clutch lever to start moving in reverse.
