Obstacle Tips

Dealing with obstacles in the terrain is easy with your new DR

SCOUT

FIELD and

BRUSH

MOWER. The following section explains how to approach most common

obstacles.






Always check your work area before mowing and remove any debris that might tangle

or damage the machine.

WARNING! The mower engine's power can potentially throw stones,

sticks and other debris at great velocity, which could cause personal injury
or property damage. DO NOT run the machine over gravel driveways or
over loose stones or mulch with the mower blade spinning.

WARNING! DO NOT touch the exhaust areas when reaching for the

spark plug—they are very hot.

WARNING! If you do run into debris and the mower becomes tangled,

turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before attempting to

untangle the machine.
