FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
Tools Needed:

3/8" Wrench
1. Using a 3/8" Wrench or Socket, remove the three (3) Bolts and Washers that
retain the black Pulley Cover and remove the Cover (Figure 5).
2. Locate and remove the Tow Bar Retaining Pin and Collar from the Pivot Pin
on the front of the Mower Deck.
3. Pull the Handle of the Tow Bar Locking Pin up so its Spring Pins are above
the Tow Bar and then twist the Handle 90º so the bottom Spring Pin rests
on top of the Tow Bar (Figure 6).
Tip: Enlist the help of another person to hold the Tow Bar level during the next
step.
4. Place the Tow Bar over the Pivot Pin and install the Collar and the Tow Bar
Retaining Pin.
NOTE: The Remote Control Panel Throttle Cable and Wire Harness are routed
inside the Tow Bar housing. Use care not to pinch them when attaching the
Tow Bar over the Pivot Pin.
5. Pull the Tow Bar Locking Pin Handle up, turn it 90º, and release the Locking
Pin into the center hole in the Tow Bar Mount Plate.

NOTE: An optional Control Extension Kit is available for the Kohler Engines to give
you more mounting options for your machine. You can replace the existing

our website at www.DRpower.com to order Kit #233901 for the Kohler
Engine.
Control Wire Harness
1. Locate the Solenoid Wire Harness with Terminals under the orange Fuel
Tank Mount (Figure 7).
2. Connect the terminals of the Solenoid Wire Harness to the terminals of the
Control Wire Harness coming from the Tow Bar (they are keyed and color
coded) by pushing them together until they snap in place.
3. Position the Strain-Relief behind the cutout in the Fuel Tank Mount and then
pull it towards you into the cutout until it snaps in place. Make sure the Wire
Harness terminals are tucked back under the Fuel Tank Mount.
