End of Season and Storage
NOTE: Please refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for engine-specific procedures.

Check the Drive Belt(s) for wear.
 Change the Engine oil. This will help to eliminate sludge and acids in the Engine.

Remove the Spark Plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the cylinder hole. Reinstall the Plug and pull the Recoil Starter
Rope until you feel strong resistance. This will coat the piston and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.

Clean or replace the Engine Air Filters.

Clean any dirt and debris from the cylinder head cooling fins, carburetor linkage, blower housing, debris screen, and muffler
area of the Engine.

Remove any wrapped weeds from the Mow-Ball ® Support, Wheel Spokes, and Axles. Using a stiff brush, clean grass and debris
from the top and underneath the Trimmer Deck.

Remove the Bottom Shield and clean out any debris. See page 21.
 Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the engine, wait five (5) minutes to allow all parts to cool.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.

Never store the DR Trimmer/Mower with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present, such as hot
water and space heaters, clothes dryers and the like. If you are going to drain the fuel tank, do this outdoors. Allow the
engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

When not in use, your DR Trimmer/Mower should be stored out of the reach of children and in a dry location.
