14 DR ® 6.25 TOW-BEHIND TRIMMER/MOWER
 When using the Trimmer, make sure you are standing in the safe
operating area (OPERATOR ZONE) as shown in Figure 24. You must stay
in the safe operating area at all times when starting or stopping the
machine.

The Trimmer Head is always spinning when the Engine is running. Stay
away from the Trimmer Head area when the Engine is running or you
could be injured by the spinning Cords.
Starting the Engine and Trimmer Head
See Engine owner’s manual for more detailed starting information.
1. Push the Throttle Control Lever all the way to the left (Rabbit position)
(Figure 25).
2. Push the Primer Bulb in and release three times.
Note: “Priming” the Engine is usually not necessary when restarting a warm
Engine.
3. Grasp the Recoil Starter Handle and slowly pull until you feel resistance
(Figure 26). Let the cord retract a little bit and then pull the cord rapidly to
start the Engine. One or two pulls usually starts the DR 6.25 TOW-BEHIND
TRIMMER/MOWER.
Stopping the Engine and Trimmer Head
1. Move the Throttle Control Lever all the way back past the TURTLE (Slow)
position to the “STOP” position.
