DR 46" LAWN MOWER DECK Safety & Operating Instructions 19

Engaging the Wheel Drive

The DR ALL-TERRAIN FIELD and BRUSH MOWER has a four-speed forward

transmission and single-speed reverse. Forward speeds range from 1.4 mph in first gear

to 4.3 mph in fourth gear on all but the 8.0 HP models. The ground speeds on the 8.0

HP models range from 1.2 mph in first gear to 3.8 mph in fourth gear. Use the lower

gears for mowing in thick vegetation, on slopes and when maneuverability is tight. Use

the higher gears for wide-open areas and lighter vegetation, or as “travel gears”.

Reverse is ideal for maneuvering in tight spots.

1. Move the Shift Lever to the desired gear.

2. Gently squeeze the Wheel Clutch Lever to engage a gear.

3. Release the Wheel Clutch Lever if you need to slow down or stop.

Stopping the Lawn Deck Blades

position.

Note: Releasing the Operator Presence Lever while the lawn deck blades are

engaged will cause the engine to shut off.

WARNING! Always disengage the blades of the DR
