Chapter 3: Operating the DR WALK-BEHIND LEAF AND LAWN VACUUM
It may be helpful to better familiarize yourself with the features of your DR WALK-BEHIND LEAF AND LAWN VACUUM by
reviewing Figure 2 in Chapter 2 before beginning the steps outlined in this
chapter. Always refer to the Engine manual for more specific Engine
information.
Starting the Engine (Manual Start)
1. Press the On/Off Switch to the ON position (Figure 22).
2. Slowly pull the Starter Cord until you feel resistance, then pull quickly. Once
the Engine starts, release the Cord and it will recoil back into position.
Starting the Engine (Electric Start)
1. Press and hold the Ignition Switch to the start position until the Engine
starts and then release (Figure 23). The Switch will go back to the central run
position and the Engine will continue to run.
Stopping the Engine
2. Press the On/Off Switch to the OFF position (Figure 22 and Figure 23).
Operating the Drive System (Self Propel Models)
TO TRAVEL FORWARD
1. Start the machine and slowly pull the Self Propel Drive Lever toward the
Handlebar Grip and hold for maximum speed as needed (Figure 24).
Note: You can vary the speed of the machine by the position of the
Drive Lever. Pulling the Drive Lever fully against the Handlebar Grip
produces the maximum travel speed. Slowly releasing the Drive
Lever will produce lower speeds until the Lever is fully released to
stop forward travel.
TO STOP TRAVEL FORWARD
1. Fully release the Drive Lever (Figure 24).
Wheel Drive Operating Tips
• Never go up or down a slope at an angle as the machine may become
unstable and tip over. If the machine does tip over, immediately shut down
the Engine and move the machine to stable ground. Check the machine for
damage.
