Daily Checklist for the DR
®
TRIMMER/MOWER ™
To help maintain your DR
®
for optimum performance, we recommend you
follow this checklist each time you use it. See the appropriate section of this
manual or your Engine Manufacturer's Owner's Manual for instructions.
4 GAS: Fill the gas tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gas. Be careful not to spill gas
on the engine shield. Gasoline will cloud the acrylic. If gas does spill on the
shield, rinse it immediately with soap and water.
4 OIL: Check the oil level and add more if necessary (add oil to the level indicated
on the dip stick—do not overfill). Use SAE 30 (HD) High Detergent oil.
4 SPARK PLUG: Clean or replace the spark plug.
4 AIR FILTER: A clean air filter will mean a much easier-starting and better
running engine.
4 ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the engine
clean of debris. Remove grass and other built-up materials from the air intake
screen, blower housing, and cooling fins regularly. A dirty engine retains heat and
can cause damage to the internal engine parts.
4 BELT: Check the belt for wear, proper alignment and tension.
4 CUTTING CORDS: Replace broken or frayed cords.
4 MOW-BALL ™
SUPPORT & CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT DISKS:
Check the Mow-Ball
™
Support and cutting height adjustment disks for wear.
Make sure the Mow-Ball
™
Support and cutting height adjustment disks are lined
up with the notches in the trimmer head plate.
