Tips On Brush Cutting
Obstacles: Always check your work area before mowing and remove any debris that might get tangled in or damage
the machine. If the mower becomes tangled, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before reaching
into the mower deck area.
Slopes: Do not operate the Brush Blazer on slopes more than 20 degrees. If you have to operate the machine on
sloping terrain, move across the face of the slope, not up and down.
If The Machine Gets Hung Up: Disengage the blade immediately. Try moving in reverse and backing away from the
obstacle.
Cutting Brush And Saplings: The Brush Blazer can cut saplings up to 4” in diameter. When cutting saplings or
brush, allow the Brush Blazer to ride up and over the material slowly. Adjust your forward speed to varying
conditions. After cutting brush or saplings, you may want to mow over it again to remove any remaining branches. It
its recommended to mow from the trunk end toward the top as the brush lies on the ground.
Cutting In Wet Conditions: Use extreme caution when cutting in wet or slippery conditions. Avoid steep slopes or
other slippery areas. Use a lower speed when conditions are wet or slippery.
WARNING
!
THE BRUSH BLAZER CAN EASILY THROW STONES, STICKS AND OTHER DEBRIS AT
GREAT VELOCITY, POSSIBLY CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
DO NOT RUN THE BRUSH BLAZER OVER GRAVEL DRIVEWAYS, LOOSE STONES OR
MULCH WITH THE BLADES ENGAGED. IF NECESSARY TO CLEAR DEBRIS FROM MOWER
DECK, DISENGAGE THE BLADE, TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION
AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE.

Travel Adjustment:
Pulling To The Left -
If the machine pulls to the left when traveling
forward, adjust the Left FRS Rod by first loosening
the Adjustment Locking Nut (Figure A). Next turn
the Left FRS Rod counter-clockwise one full
revolution (This action will lengthen the Rod, which
will increase the speed of the Left Motor and even
out forward speeds), tighten the Adjustment
Locking Nut and test forward travel (Figure B).
Pulling To The Right -
If the machine pulls to the right when traveling
forward, adjust the Right FRS Rod by first
loosening the Adjustment Locking Nut (Figure A).
Next turn the Right FRS Rod counter-clockwise
one full revolution (This action will lengthen the
rod, which will increase the speed of the right
motor and even out forward speeds), tighten the
Adjustment Locking Nut and test forward travel
(Figure B).
Note: If the forward travel still pulls to either the
left or right, repeat the corresponding step above.

(See Page 12 Figure A).
3. Place tension on the Drive Belt as shown in the Figure B.
4. Measure the gap between the Idler and the Belt. There should be 1/8”-3/16” gap between the
Idler and the Belt.
If The Idler Needs To Be Adjusted -
1. Remove the Cotter Pin from the end of the Adjustment Rod and remove the end of the
Adjustment Rod from the Clutch Control Crank (Figure A).
2. Turn the Adjustment Rod clockwise to move the Idler closer to the Belt, or counter-clockwise to

Failure To Do So May Result In Serious Injury
Or Death.
Blade - Removal / Inspection / Sharpening / Replacement
ŸNote: Please heed Warning above before attempting any repairs
ŸPreparation: With the Brush Blazer positioned securely on level ground, strap the Tree Gate Assembly in the “UP”
position to allow access to the cutting Flail Blades.
ŸRemoval: For a single Blade, remove the Socket Head Cap Screw (#2.1.5) & Stover Lock Nut (#2.1.6). Repeat for
the other Blades. See Figure A.
ŸInspection: Visually inspect each Blade for damage. Warped, bent, severely broken or chipped Blades should be
replaced.
ŸSharpening: Before sharpening, determine if the Blade’s width falls between the dimensions in Figure B. If the
Blade width is less than 3”, replace the Blade. Sharpen the edge of the Blade using a file or a grindstone,
keeping it at a roughly 45-degree angle, following the angle of the existing edge. Take care to even out rough
spots.
Ÿ Replacement: See Figure A. Insert the Cap Screw (#4) through items (#7), (#3), (#6), & (#2).
Fasten the cap screw (#4) using the previously removed stover lock nut (#5). If replacing all (3) Flail Blades,
be certain to position one blade (per shaft assembly) upside-down, see note in Figure A. Torque each bolt to
the specified torque settings in the back of this manual.
