Daily Checklist for the DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM
To help maintain your DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist
each time you use your Vacuum.
[ ] OIL: With the machine on a level surface, remove the Oil Fill Cap and check the oil level. Fill the reservoir according to
the Dipstick with the recommended motor oil.
[ ] GAS: Fill the gas tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline.
[ ] ENGINE: It is very important to keep the Engine clean. Remove dirt and other debris from the Engine cooling fins and
debris guard. A dirty Engine retains heat and can cause damage to internal Engine components.
[ ] HARDWARE: Check all nuts and bolts to be sure that the components are secure.
[ ] FRAME: Check all welds to be sure that the frame is in tact and secure.
[ ] HOSES: Inspect the Hoses for holes, frayed, worn, kinked, or abraded areas. Replace any damaged or worn Hoses.
End of Season and Storage
NOTE: Please refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for engine-specific procedures.

Change the oil. Refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed information.

If your DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer. This will
prevent sediment from gumming up the carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the gas or tank, remove it by draining the
tank. Completely fill the tank with fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive.
Run the engine for a short time to allow the additive to circulate.

Remove the spark plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the cylinder hole. Replace the plug and pull the recoil
starter rope until you feel strong resistance. This will coat the piston and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.
 Clean or replace the air filter. Refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed information.

Clean dirt and debris from the cylinder head cooling fins, Impeller housing, debris screen, and muffler area of the engine.

Clean out residual debris from the Hoses and Collector.

Store the Battery in a dry area that will not freeze. If you will not use the machine over a long period, charge the Battery
every four to six weeks. See page 28.

If possible, store the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum in a dry, protected area. If it is necessary to store the machine outside,
cover it with a protective material (especially the Engine). Contact us at www.DRpower.com or call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-
9637) to purchase a cover for your DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM.
Before performing any maintenance, repairs or inspection, you must first shut off the mower and leaf and lawn vacuum engines,
wait five minutes for all parts to stop and cool, and disconnect the spark plug wire of the leaf and lawn vacuum.
