Daily Checklist for the DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
To help maintain your DR ALL-TERRIAN FIELD and BRUSH MOWER for optimum
performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your machine.
[ ] OIL: With the machine on a level surface, check the engine oil level with the
dipstick and add more if necessary (only add oil to the level indicated on the
dipstick - DO NOT OVERFILL). Use SAE 30 high detergent motor oil.
[ ] GAS: Fill the gas tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline. Make sure the gas valve
on the bottom of the tank is open, if your model is equipped with one. Always
close the gas valve when storing your machine.
[ ] ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the engine clean
of debris. Remove grass and other built-up materials from the air intake screen
before, during and after you mow. Regularly remove debris from the blower
housing and cooling fins. A dirty engine retains heat and can cause damage to the
internal engine parts.
[ ] 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.
[ ] GENERAL CONDITION: Check the general condition of the machine, e.g.; nuts,
bolts, welds etc.
