(Figure 27).
2. Adjust the Spacers as desired with some under and some above the Support
on the Shaft.
3. Reinstall Wheel Assembly, Spacers and Hitch Clip.
Note: More Spacers under the Support will lower the Wheel and set the Trimmer
Head Higher. More Spacers on top of the Support will raise the Wheel and
set the Trimmer Head Lower.

place and properly secured before using.

Cord Tips
We ship two (2) thicknesses of Cutting Cord with your DR 3-POINT HITCH TRIMMER/MOWER.
The Cords are Blue (175-mil) and Green (155-mil). Because conditions and vegetation vary so much, you should experiment with
Cord weights (diameters) to discover what works best for your particular mowing and trimming situations. Here are a few things
to keep in mind:
 If you buy Cutting Cord in rolls, cut it in 13" lengths. Cut them at an angle so they will be easier to install.

Soak your Cutting Cord in a bucket of room temperature water for a few days before use to make it more pliable. Storing the
Cord in a plastic bag with a damp sponge or cloth will help keep it pliable

Cord life depends on trimming conditions. Replace Cords when they become broken or frayed.

The smallest diameter Cord capable of cutting the material at hand usually provides the best grass trimming performance.
When you need more strength for thicker growth such as berry canes, brambles, thistles, or ragweed, you may want to use the
175-mil Cord.

Ease the ends of the Cord into heavy growth and move slowly through thick growth. If there are woody weeds in the material
you are cutting, the cutting Cords may wrap around the stalks they cannot cut, and pull away from the Trimmer Head.

If the Cord breaks off flush at the Cord Head, use needle nose pliers to pull out the old Cord.
 UV light can degrade cord, store out of direct sunlight.
