Daily Checklist for the DR® FIELD and BRUSH MOWER

To help maintain your DR® 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 SAE30 HD motor oil.

[ ] GAS: Fill the gas tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline, making sure the gas valve on the bottom of the tank is open. Always close the gas valve when storing your machine.

[ ] ENGINE: It is very important to keep the engine clean. Remove grass and other debris from the engine cooling fins and debris guard. A dirty engine retains heat and can cause damage to internal engine components.

[ ] BELTS: Check the belts for wear, proper alignment and tension.

[ ] BLADE: Check the blade for tightness, nicks and wear. Remove any wrapped weeds and grass from the blade bearing housing to prevent buildup.
