What to do if my DR Tractor Accessories engine will not start manually?
If your DR Tractor Accessories engine won't start manually, make sure the key is in the RUN position and the spark plug wire is attached. Inspect the operator presence switch connections beneath the panel at the key switch and at the engine. Check the oil and gas levels, replacing old gas if necessary, and consider using a fuel stabilizer. Verify the throttle adjustment and travel. Examine the spark plug for dirt or cracks, replacing it if needed. If the spark plug is oily, remove it, cover the plug hole with a rag, and pull the recoil cord to clear any oil. Finally, check the air filter and replace it if dirty, following the engine owner’s manual.
What to do if blades vibrate when engaged on my DR Lawn Mower?
If the blades vibrate when engaged on your DR Lawn Mower, the blade carrier mounting bolt may not be tight enough. Tighten the bolt as tight as possible by hand with at least a 1ft long 1-1/8" wrench. A swinging blade may be too loose on the blade carrier, so re-tighten the swinging blade mounting hardware.
What to do if my DR Tractor Accessories engine will not start using Electric- Start?
If your DR Tractor Accessories engine won't start using the electric start, check the items under the “Electric-Starting” section. Review the causes listed for when the engine won't start manually. Check the wire connections, paying special attention to the ground connection (the large black wire from the battery to the engine). Ensure the battery is charged by checking the voltage yourself or at a service station, and charge it with a 12-volt, 1 to 2-amp trickle charger if needed. If the machine isn't used for at least 45 minutes at a time, the battery may require periodic charging.
What to do if my DR Tractor Accessories engine smokes?
If the engine of your DR Tractor Accessories is smoking, check the oil level and adjust as needed. Ensure you are not operating the machine on too steep of an incline.

Also, clean the engine cooling fins and the carburetor housing if they are dirty.

Also, clean the engine cooling fins and carburetor housing if they are dirty.
Why does the belt fray on my DR Lawn Mower?

What to do if the blades are not cutting on my DR Lawn Mower?
If the blades are not cutting or are loose on your DR Lawn Mower, tighten the blade carrier mounting bolt as tight as possible by hand with at least a 1ft long 1-1/8” wrench. Re-tighten the swinging blade mounting hardware if a swinging blade is too loose on the blade carrier. Sharpen the swinging blades if they may be dull or nicked.
What to do if my DR Lawn Mower engine lacks power?
If your DR Lawn Mower engine lacks power or isn't running smoothly, ensure the throttle lever is in the RUN position. The spark plug(s) may be dirty or cracked, so replace it. If the spark plug(s) is oily, remove it, hold a rag over the plug hole(s) and crank the engine over a couple of times using the electric starter to blow out any oil in the cylinder(s), then wipe off the plug(s) and reinsert it. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than one month, as the gas must be fresh and clean. Also, the engine may not have the right amount of clean oil, so change it if it is dirty.
