Chapter 4: Operating Your DR® TRIMMER/MOWER™
This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping your new DR® TRIMMER/ MOWER™ and discusses basic operation features. You may find it helpful to review the DR® TRIMMER/MOWER™ Controls and Features picture (Figure 1) on page 8 before reading this chapter.
Electric-Starting
Note: Use the following steps with
1.Push the throttle lever on the right side of the handlebar (see trimmer picture, Figure 1, on page 8) all the way forward to the START position.
2.If your model has a primer, prime the engine.
Push the primer bulb in (see trimmer picture, Figure 1, on page 8) for three seconds and completely release it, letting it pop back to its original position. Repeat three to four times.
Note: Priming is usually not necessary when restarting a warm engine. In cool weather, you may need to repeat priming.
3.Turn the key (see trimmer picture, Figure 1, on page 8) to the START position until the engine starts, then release. The key will snap back to the RUN position and the engine will continue to run.
Manual-Starting
Note: You may use this starting method with both manual and
1.Push the throttle lever on the right side of the handlebar (see trimmer picture on page 8) all the way forward to the START position.
2.If your model has a primer, prime the engine.
Push the primer bulb in (see trimmer picture on page 8) for three seconds and completely release it, letting it pop back to its original position. Repeat three to four times.
Note: Priming is usually not necessary when restarting a warm engine. In cool weather, you may need to repeat priming.
3.Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull until you feel resistance. Let the cord
retract a little bit, then pull the cord rapidly to start the engine. One or two pulls usually starts the DR® TRIMMER/MOWER™. It may be necessary to repeat priming if
the machine does not start within two pulls.
