Starting the Engine and Trimmer Head
1. Push the Throttle Control Lever all the way to the left (Rabbit position)
(Figure 17).
2. Push the Choke Lever to the left (Choke position).
Note: “Choking” 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 18). 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 7.25 ALL TERRAIN
TRIMMER/MOWER.
4. Once the Engine is started, move the Throttle Lever to the RUN position.
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.
Obstacles
Dealing with obstacles in the terrain is easy with your new DR 7.25 ALL-
TERRAIN TRIMMER/MOWER. The following section explains how to
approach most common obstacles.

Always check your work area before trimming and remove any debris that
might tangle or damage the machine.

Approach obstacles (fence posts, Trees, Large Rocks etc) so the impact
zone will be within the area of the Optimum Impact Zone Label (Figure 19).
This will ensure the best spring action and trimming coverage around the
obstacle.

If you do run into debris and the Trimmer becomes tangled, Shut off the
Tow Vehicle, set the parking brake and remove the Key. Shut off the
Trimmer Engine and after all moving parts to come to a complete stop,
then wait five minutes for parts to cool before attempting to untangle the
machine.
 Be cautious when trimming in reverse and do not hit any obstacles. The
machine is designed to spring out of the way when hitting obstacles in the
forward direction, not the reverse direction. If you hit obstacles with the
Trimmer in the reverse direction the trimmer could be damaged and is not
covered by the Warranty.
Heavy Growth

Take your time in heavy growth.

If the machine cannot do it all in one pass, overlap half of the cutting swath.

Ease the DR 7.25 ALL-TERRAIN TRIMMER/MOWER into denser growth. If the material is too tough or woody to cut, the
Cutting Cords will wrap around it, wear down, or even break off.
Tip: Use the “two pass”, one half overlap method, whenever possible.
Wet Conditions
Because there is no housing to restrict the flow of cut material, you can also use your DR 7.25 ALL-TERRAIN TRIMMER/MOWER
to mow wet or heavy growth. You can use the Trimmer in damp conditions, after a rain, or in the early morning dew without
clogging or stalling. You can also mow wet areas such as ditches and around ponds.
