    How to start a DR All-Terrain FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Lawn Mower manually?
    • A
      Anthony SwansonAug 25, 2025
      To start your DR Lawn Mower, ensure you're using fresh, clean gas; old gas can prevent starting, so replace it. If storing gas longer than two months, use a fuel stabilizer. Confirm the fuel shut-off valve is on, if your model has one. Check the fuel filter to ensure it's clear; remove the line from the engine side to check for free gas flow. Also, inspect the throttle adjustment and travel, and make sure the blade engagement lever is disengaged. Finally, check and clean the spark plug; replace if dirty or cracked. If oily, remove it, cover the hole with a rag, and pull the recoil cord to clear oil from the cylinder before reinserting the plug.
