FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
Lubrication
Your DR SCOUT FIELD and BRUSH MOWER was lubricated at the Factory. The Spindle, Differential,
and Transmission are lubricated for life and sealed at the factory. The operator needs to periodically
lubricate the Wheel Clutch Cable, Blade Clutch Cable, Drive Chain, and provide engine lubrication.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• 1/2" Wrench or Socket (chain cover)
•
9/16" Wrench or Socket (shift lever)
•
SAE 30 Oil
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE, STOP THE ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE
SPARK PLUG WIRE.
1. Lubricate the Blade Clutch Cable and Wheel Clutch
Cable with SAE 30 Oil. Apply the lubricant into the
cable housing while working the cable back and forth
a few times. You should do this at both ends of the
cables. Perform this lubrication more often in dry
and dusty environments.
2. To remove the Chain Cover, first remove the Shift
Lever Attaching Nut (Figure 8) and then remove the
Shift Lever.
3. Remove the two (2) Chain Cover screws and then
remove the Chain Cover (Figure 9).
