SP22 MOWER
A Note to All Users
Under California law, and the laws of some other states, you are not permitted to operate an internal combustion engine using
hydrocarbon fuels without an engine spark arrester. This also applies to operation on US Forest Lands. All DR SP22 MOWERS
shipped to California, New Mexico, Oregon and Arizona are equipped with spark arresters. Failure of the owner or operator to
maintain this equipment in compliance with state regulations is a misdemeanor under California law and may be in violation of
other state and/or federal regulations. Contact your State Park Association or the appropriate state organization for specific
information in your area.
No list of warnings and cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur that are not covered by this manual, the operator must
apply common sense and operate this DR SP22 MOWER in a safe manner. Contact us at www.DRpower.com or call 1-800-DR-
