Operator's Manual
Rough Cut Mower
Mower Tips:
Never operate outside of tow vehicle
recommendations.
If the weeds or grass are tall and thick, operate the
mower at a slower towing speed.
Frequently clean the underside of the mower to
remove any grass build up. See the "Maintenance,
Service and Storage" section for details.
Do not mow on excessively steep slopes. Never use
the mower on slopes greater than 20 degrees using
any type of tow vehicle. Do not mow on slopes when
the ground is slippery or wet. Mow up and down the
face of the slope, not across.
Do not operate tow vehicle over 5 mph on at terrain,
or 4 mph on rough terrain while towing the mower.
When cutting larger wooded sections like small
saplings, allow the mower to ride up over the material
slowly. Use a slower speed to adjust for various
conditions.
After the rst pass of cutting large saplings, mow the
section again to clean additional debris. Mow from
the trunk towards the top as the brush lays on the
ground.
When cutting heavy brush in o set mowing, keep the
oset by 10 inches (Position 4 or Position 6).
Do not use a commercial or non-commercial
automobile, truck, sport utility vehicle (SUV) or
motorcycle, as dened by the Wisconsin Department
of Motor Vehicles, to tow the Rough Cut Mower.
These vehicles make it dicult to see and control the
mower. Use of these tow vehicle types will void the
warranty.

weighing less than 500 lbs. are not suitable for use on

vehicles when the cutting deck is removed.
