End of Season and Storage
Note: Please refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for Engine-specific procedures.
• Change the Engine oil and Oil Filter and replace the Fuel Filter.
• Remove the Spark Plugs and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the Cylinder holes. Replace the Plugs and crank the Engine
over a couple of times using the Electric Starter. This will coat the pistons and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.
• Clean or replace the Air Filter.
• Clean dirt and debris from the Cylinder Head Cooling Fins, Blower Housing, Debris Screen, and Muffler area of the Engine.
• If your DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer.
This will prevent sediment from gumming up the Carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the gas or tank, remove it by draining
the tank. Completely fill the tank with fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive.
Run the Engine for a short time to allow the additive to circulate.
• Remove any wrapped weeds from the Blades Carrier Housing. Clean grass and debris from the top and underneath the mower
Deck with a stiff brush.
• Check the Blades for nicks and wear. Remove the Blades and sharpen them or have them professionally sharpened if needed.
• Touch-up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces. Sand them lightly before painting.
• Be sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.
• Inspect moving parts and the Blades’ Drive Belt for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
• Store the Battery in a dry area that will not freeze. If you will not use the machine over a long period, charge the Battery every
four to six weeks.
• If possible, store your DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER inside, but not near an open flame or spark such as found
in a water heater.
• After the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER has cooled, cover the machine with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic as this material cannot breathe; it also allows condensation to form, which will
cause your machine to rust.
