PILOT TRIMMER/MOWER
Use DR Power Equipment .095" Cord provided with your DR Pulse Trimmer/Mower for best results. Use of larger Cord or
different materials will reduce Battery run time.
Always make sure to install both Trimmer Cords and ensure they are the same length. Not having both Cords installed
and/or at the same length will cause excessive vibration and could damage the machine.
If you have purchased Trimmer Cord in a roll, ensure that you cut it in lengths of 11". This will give you the correct cutting
width of 18" when two Cords are installed. Longer or shorter Cord length could damage the machine.

Replacing Trimmer Cords
Note: The Cord can only move through the Quick Lock in one direction (Figure 12). To remove it you must pull it from the other side of
the Holder (where the 1/2" end is).
1. Pull the remaining portion of the Trimmer Cord from the Quick Lock.
2. Insert the end of a Trimmer Cord into the inlet hole (larger slotted cutout)
push it in until the end protrudes out the other side approximately 1/2".
3. Turn the Quick Lock 180 degrees and repeat the installation for the other
side.
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, release the bail bar to stop the motor and remove the battery
and safety key to prevent accidental starting.
Any maintenance or repairs not listed in this section should be performed by an authorized service representative.
