FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Safety & Operating Instructions

Cutting Brush & Saplings

1. When cutting woody material,

small saplings, etc., allow the

machine to ride up and over

material slowly. Adjust your

forward speed to varying

conditions (Figure 9).

2. After cutting brush, etc., you

may want to mow over it

again to remove any

remaining branches. It works

best to mow from the trunk

end toward the top as brush

lies on the ground.

Reverse

1. Be very careful of your footing when operating the machine in reverse. Know what's

behind you and take your time.

2. Disengage the blade before shifting into reverse. Mow in the forward gears only, using

reverse for maneuvering.

3. If you find it difficult to shift into reverse, lightly "feather" the Clutch Lever as you put

the Shift Lever into reverse, then quickly release the Clutch Lever.

Cutting in Wet & Heavy Growth

1. Be very careful of your footing when mowing in wet conditions. Avoid steep slopes

and other slippery areas.

2. Use a lower, slower speed when mowing in wet conditions.

Cold Weather Operation

Figure 9

t temperatures below 30°F and a high dew point, your ATM engine may experience

icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. Country Home Products,

Inc. offers an optional engine cover to prevent icing in these weather conditions. The

cover can be purchased through Country Home Products, Inc. by calling 1(800) DR-

OWNER (376-9637). Please have your ATM Model# and Serial# at hand when the

call is placed.

Tip: As a preventative measure to prevent control cable freeze up; prior to using you

ATM in cold weather, inject “dry gas” into the Brake and Clutch cable-housin

openings to absorb any moisture that may have collected. Tip the machine

forward slightly so the “dry gas” will flow down the inside of the housings, and

then lubricate as outlined on page 23.
