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 machine.

[ ]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 SAE 30 HD motor oil. (See page 23)

[ ] GAS: Fill the gas tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. See page 23.

[ ] 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.

[ ] BLOWER HOSES: Inspect the blower hoses for holes, frayed, worn, kinked, or abraded areas. Replace any damaged or worn hoses. See page 36.
