Daily Checklist for the 42 "DR LAWN MOWER DECK
To help maintain your DR Lawn Mower Deck for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time
you use your Lawn Deck.
[ ] Check the Belt for wear, proper alignment and tension.
[ ] Check the Blades for tightness, nicks and wear. Remove any wrapped weeds and grass from the Blade Bearing Housings
to prevent buildup.
[ ] Check the general condition of the Lawn Deck, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc.
[ ] Check Tire Pressure and wear.
[ ] Check the Belt Guards for damage.
End of Season and Storage
•
Remove any wrapped weeds from the blade bearing housings. Clean grass and debris from the top and underneath the
mower deck with a stiff brush.
•
Check the blades for nicks and wear. Replace or sharpen and balance the blades if they become dull, or have them
professionally sharpened if needed. Never try to straighten a bent blade. Dull or bent blades can cause excessive vibration
and wear.
•
Clean the exterior of the unit to remove all dirt, grease, and any other foreign material. To prevent rust, touch up painted
surfaces that have been scratched or chipped.
•
Be sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.
•
Inspect moving parts and the Drive Belt for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
•
If possible, store the Lawn Deck in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the Lawn Deck outside, cover it with a
protective material.
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the engine of the Field and Brush Mower, wait five (5) minutes
