Unpacking the Machine
NOTE: Unpacking the DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER is a two-person job. We recommend you have an extra set of hands available
before you begin.
NOTE: The Product Package that came with your machine includes a clear Tube to aid in draining Engine Oil. An extra Shear Pulley is
included with machines that have the larger 30" Deck as a backup to the Shear Pulley safety setup on your machine.
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 you can lift it off the pallet.
5. Roll the Power Unit off the pallet. Do not discard the cardboard and pallet until you are fully satisfied with your new DR FIELD
and BRUSH MOWER.
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).
The banding is under tension and may snap and cut you. Always stand to one side when cutting the band.
