    Why is my DR PRO Lawn Mower engine smoking?
    • K

      Your DR Lawn Mower engine might be smoking because you are operating the machine on too great an incline. You may be using the wrong oil—too light for the temperature. Refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed information. Check the air filter(s) and clean or replace if needed.

    Why won't my DR Lawn Mower engine start?
    • R
      Robert AdamsAug 26, 2025
      There are several reasons why your DR Lawn Mower engine might not start. The gas may not be fresh or clean, so replace it, using a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than one month. The spark plug(s) could 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. The air filter might be dirty, so change it following the procedure in the Engine Owner’s Manual. Check the fuses in the wiring harness and replace if needed. The battery may not be charged, so check the voltage and charge it with a 12-volt, 1 to 2-amp trickle charger if it is low.

    Why is the recoil on my DR PRO difficult to pull?
    • L
      Lisa BryantAug 26, 2025
      If the recoil on your DR Lawn Mower is difficult to pull, it could be due to several reasons. The engine oil level may be low, causing the engine to seize, or there might be an oil compression lock in the cylinder. To resolve this, remove the spark plug, cover the spark plug hole with a rag, and pull the recoil cord several times to clear any oil from the cylinder. Clean and reinstall the spark plug. If these steps don't work, try to turn the engine pulley by hand with the spark plug wire off. If it turns, the recoil may be broken or jammed.

      If the recoil on your DR Trimmer is difficult to pull or won't pull out, check the engine oil level, as the engine may be seized. An oil compression lock in the cylinder might be the cause. Remove the spark plug, cover the spark plug hole with a rag, and pull the recoil cord several times to clear any oil from the cylinder. Wipe off the spark plug and reinstall it. If this doesn't resolve the issue, the recoil may be broken or jammed. With the spark plug wire off, try turning the engine pulley by hand. If it turns, the recoil is broken or jammed.

    • J
      Joseph EwingAug 27, 2025
      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.

    What to do if the blades are not cutting on my DR PRO Lawn Mower?
    • C
      Corey SawyerAug 28, 2025
      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.

    Why does the belt fray on my DR PRO?
    • Y
      youngjoshuaAug 29, 2025
      The belt on your DR Lawn Mower might fray or roll over the pulley because there may be a nick in a pulley groove, so check the belt for wear and hard spots and file off any nicks on the pulley. The belt may be stretched, so replace it.

      If your DR Trimmer engine smokes, first verify that the oil level is correct. Reduce the incline at which you are operating the machine, as this can cause smoking. Inspect the air filter; clean or replace it if necessary. Ensure you are using the correct oil type for the temperature; consult your Engine Owner’s Manual for details. Also, clean the engine cooling fins and carburetor housing if they are dirty.

    • K
      Kelly WalkerSep 1, 2025
      If the recoil on your DR Trimmer is difficult to pull, start by checking the engine oil level, as the engine may be seized. There could also be an oil compression lock in the cylinder. Remove the spark plug, cover the spark plug hole with a rag, and pull the recoil cord several times to clear any oil. Wipe off the spark plug and reinstall it. The recoil itself might be broken or jammed. With the spark plug wire off, try turning the engine pulley by hand. If it turns, the recoil is likely broken or jammed.
