DR Power 9 HP (March 2004 - March 2010) - Manual (Page 10)

HELPFUL HINTS
1. Chips are contained by the rubber guards and may begin to build up between the wheels.
Should there be excessive build-up, release throttle and move unit out of position and rake or
shovel away the chip build-up. A power blower or vacuum works well.
2. On larger stumps, if you continue to cut from one location, eventually a wheel may want to roll
into the hole. Before this happens, move to a different side of the stump to continue cutting.
3. It is a good idea to never operate the machine with the engine more than 30 degrees from
horizontal. This could cause engine damage due to lack of lubrication. This problem could
happen when a stump is on a steep hill. Try to cut the stump with the least amount of tilt.
WARNING
If the cutting head strikes a rock or curb and starts making an unusual noise or vibrating excessively:
1. Stop the engine immediately.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
3. Allow the engine to cool.
4. Inspect for obvious damage.
5. Check for loose parts and tighten to assure continued safe operation.
6. Replace or repair any damaged parts.
