DR Power Tow-Behind Yard Trimmer - Manual (Page 20)

20 DR ® 6.25 TOW-BEHIND TRIMMER/MOWER
Changing the Engine Oil
The Engine on your machine is not equipped with an Oil Drain Plug and will
require some disassembly to fully drain the Oil. There is however, an Oil
Suction Pump available to make removing the Oil easier. Please visit our web
site at www.DRPower.com or call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
Tools and Supplies needed:

SAE 30 HD Oil (refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for quantity required)
 Suitable container for used oil
 Rags
Note: Drain the oil when the Engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Set the Tow-Bar offset to the furthest offset position by removing the Snap
Safety Pin and rotating the Tow Bar to the far right (Figure 40). Reinstall the
Snap Safety Pin through the holes in the Tow Bar and Swivel frame.
2. Make sure to securely tighten the Gas Fill Cap (Figure 41).
3. Remove the Oil Cap/Dipstick and position a suitable oil receptacle beside
the Oil Fill Tube (Figure 42).
4. Tip the Trimmer to drain the oil out through the Oil Filler Tube.
5. Lower the Trimmer when finished and refill the Engine with Oil as described
in the “Adding Oil and Gasoline” section in Chapter 2.
Note: Be sure to use environmentally safe disposal procedures in the disposing of the
used oil.
