DR  ALL-TERRAIN  FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Safety & Operating Instructions 11
Unpacking the Mower
NOTE: Unpacking the DR ALL-TERRAIN FIELD and BRUSH MOWER is a two-
person job. We recommend you have an extra set of hands available before
you begin.
Tools & Supplies Needed:
Screwdriver
Hammer
Knife
Gloves
1. Stand to one side and cut the banding.
2. Remove the top of the carton. Cut the cardboard top to bottom on one of the
narrow sides of the box and peel it off the pallet. Be careful of the staples.
3. Pry off the fasteners and cut any ties holding the machine to the pallet.
4. Remove the brush deck by lifting it up and over the supporting lumber, and then
remove the lumber. You may need to remove one of the cross slats. At this point
the lawn deck (if ordered) is free standing and can be lifted off the pallet.
5. Roll the power unit off the pallet.
6. Attach the deck to the power unit following the directions on the next page. The
belt is stored below the black pulley cover.
7. If assembling the Lawn Deck, mount the front caster wheels before attaching the
deck to the power unit.
Note: The Safety and Operating Instructions and the caster wheels for the Lawn Deck (if
ordered) are tucked in one of the cardboard corner supports.
WARNING! The banding may have a lot of tension on it and may snap,
cutting you when cut. Always stand to one side when
cutting the band.
WARNING! Before attaching the deck, be sure the spark plug wire(s) is
disconnected.
Caution: Wear gloves and be very careful when handling the deck(s). The
blades are very sharp, and may spin as you maneuver the deck(s).
