Daily Checklist for the DR WIDE-CUT LAWN MOWER
To help maintain your DR WIDE-CUT LAWN 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.
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 Fuel Shut-Off
Valve on the bottom of the tank is open. Always close the Fuel Shut-Off 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.
[ ] BLADES: Check the Blades for tightness, nicks, and wear. Remove any wrapped weeds
and grass from the Blade Bearing Housings to prevent buildup.
[ ] GENERAL CONDITION: Check the general condition of the machine, e.g.; nuts, bolts,
welds etc. Verify the operation of the Operator Presence Controls (page 19).
