Lubrication
Your DR SCOUT FIELD and BRUSH MOWER was lubricated at the Factory. The spindle, differential
and transmission are lubricated for life and sealed at the factory. The operator needs to periodically
lubricate the Wheel Clutch Cable, Blade Clutch Cable, Drive Chain, and provide engine lubrication.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• 1/2" wrench or socket (chain cover)
•
9/16" wrench or socket (shift lever)
•
FLUID FILM ® or comparable lubricant
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE, STOP THE ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE
SPARK PLUG WIRE.
1. Lubricate the Blade Clutch Cable and Wheel
Clutch Cable with FLUID FILM ® or
comparable lubricant. Spray the lubricant into
the cable housing while working the cable back
and forth and few times. This should be done
at both ends of the cables. Perform this
lubrication more often in dry and dusty
environments.

Shift Lever Attaching Nut (Figure 8) and then
remove the Shift Lever.
