TOW BEHIND DR

®

FIELD and BRUSH MOWER

Keep your foot clear of the mower deck when adjusting the height. You could pinch your foot if it sticks under the deck.

Adjusting the Mower Deck Height

NOTE: The TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Deck has four (4) cutting heights, 4", 5", 6-1/4" and 7-1/2".

1. To change the cutting height, apply foot pressure to the Step & Mow™
Height Adjuster (Figure 23) and at the same time, lift up on the spring loaded
Deck Height Adjust Knob and re-position the Knob to the desired height in one
of the four Height Adjust Notches on top of the Deck. Repeat this for the
opposite side of the Deck.

NOTE: Make sure that the left and right side Adjust Knob is the same notch for both
sides.

Tip: Since you previously leveled the Out-Rigger™ Tow Bar when attaching it to
your Tow Vehicle, whenever you change Cutting Height position up or down, just
move the Versa-Hitch™ (Figure 17 on page 16) up or down to ensure that the
Tow Bar is level or slightly lower at the Tow Hitch.

Shut off the engine before adjusting the deck height or serious injury may result. The blades could sever your foot if it sticks
under the deck with the engine running.

Never get off the tow vehicle without first stopping the blades and shutting off the tow vehicle engine and the TOW-BEHIND
DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER engine.
