• You must add Oil before starting the Engine. This machine is shipped without Oil. Traces of Oil may be in the reservoir from
factory testing, but you must add Oil before starting the Engine. Fill the reservoir slowly, checking the level frequently, to avoid
overfilling.
• To get an accurate reading when checking the Oil level the machine should be on a level surface.
Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the Caps on the Fuel and
Engine Oil Fills and only removing one Cap each time when you are ready to
pour Gasoline or Oil into the correct Fill.
NOTE: Use SAE 30 High Detergent Oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or
higher. Do not use special additives. Other types of Oil could cause problems
operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed
Oil information.
1. Place the machine on a level surface and remove the Oil Fill/Dipstick (Figure
7).
2. Initially add 12 oz. (1/3 quart) of SAE 30 High Detergent oil, recommended
by the Engine Manufacturer, and wait one minute for the oil to settle.
2. Continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, until the oil reaches the Full
line on the Dipstick (Figure 8). Be careful not to overfill.
3. Fill the Gas Tank with fresh, unleaded gas (with a minimum of 85 Octane),
to approximately 1" to 1-1/2" below the top of the Fill Neck to allow for Fuel
expansion. Be careful not to overfill and reinstall the Cap before starting the
Engine. See your Engine Owner’s Manual for more information.
NOTE: To refill the Gas Tank, turn the Engine OFF, and let the Engine cool at least
five (5) minutes before removing the Gas Fill Cap.
Connecting the DR TOW-BEHIND ROTOTILLER to your Tow
Vehicle
1. Place the Tiller on level ground and back up your Tow Vehicle so that the Hitch of the Vehicle is in line with and next to the
Hitch on the DR TOW-BEHIND ROTOTILLER. Set the Parking Brake on the Tow Vehicle.
2. Attach the Hitch of the Tiller to the Tow Vehicle using a Hitch Pin and the Hair Cotter Pin (Figure 9).
NOTE: The DR TOW-BEHIND ROTOTILLER comes with a Hitch Extension Bracket. This Bracket can be used to slightly lower or
elevate the front of the machine. When using this bracket, use the provided 1/2-13 x 1-1/4" Bolt and 1/2-13 Locknut to attach the
Bracket to the Tow Vehicle and use the Channel Pin and Hair Pin to attach the Machine to the Bracket
