Wet Conditions

Because there is no housing to restrict the flow of cut material, you can also use your DR® TRIMMER/ MOWER™ to mow wet or heavy growth. The DR® can be used in damp conditions— after a rain or in the early morning dew—without clogging or stalling. You can also mow wet areas such as ditches and around ponds (Figure 18).

Very Dry Conditions

Important! Frequently remove debris from the recoil guard on top of the engine and the cooling fins on the front of the engine to prevent overheating and engine damage.

When trimming and mowing in very dry conditions, be extra cautious of cut grass, chaff, weeds, seeds, etc., accumulating on the engine, especially around the recoil-starter housing and engine cooling fins. Please see the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for more detailed information on cleaning the air intake, air filter, and cooling system on the engine.

Slopes

You can trim and mow on slopes up to 20 degrees. Continuous use on slopes steeper than 20 degrees may deprive the engine of adequate lubrication, and damage components.

Windrows

The DR® TRIMMER/MOWER™’s cutting cords cut even tall grass in just one pass, so you can collect clippings and leaves for mulch without raking. The machine ejects cut material to its right, so you can use it like a lawn broom to make windrows for easy clean up.

Firebreaks

Use your trimmer as a labor-saving tool to cut material when creating firebreaks.

Garden Clean-Up

The DR® TRIMMER/MOWER™ is perfect for cutting down dead perennials, annuals and wildflowers, saving you hours of hand pruning and deadheading. You can also recut downed material a second time to create mulch for garden beds.
