14 DR
®
TRIMMER/MOWER
NOTE: In PTA mode, the Trimmer’s Wheels stay straight while the Trimmer
Head tilts (Figure 16). The Cutting Cords extend beyond the wheelbase in the PTA
mode (Figure 16), allowing you to easily cut under obstacles. The Trimmer Head
and the Cutting Cords also tilt slightly in PTA mode so you can edge and trim
along gardens, paths, and driveways (Figure 16). When using PTA along garden
edges, fences, and buildings, we recommend making your first pass with the DR
TRIMMER/MOWER in the Normal mowing position, staying 4 to 8 inches from the
obstacle; and then return for another pass with the machine in PTA mode.
Engaging the PTA™
3. Stand in the Operator’s position.
4. Pull the PTA Lever (Figure 17) against the Handlebar and hold it there.
This unlocks the Axle (Figure 18).
NOTE: Figure 18 shows the Axle with the Wheel removed for clarity.
5. Push down on the Handlebar to tip the nose of the machine a few inches off
the ground. Balancing the weight of the machine on the Wheels makes it
easier to pivot the front of the Trimmer to the left.
6. While continuing to hold the PTA Lever down, grip the sides of the
Handlebar while pulling up with the right hand and pushing down with the
left, swinging the front of the Trimmer to the left.
7. Release the PTA Lever. This will lock the Axle in PTA mode (Figure 18).
Returning to Normal Mode
1. Pull the PTA Lever (Figure 17) against the Handlebar and hold it there.
2. Push down on the Handlebar to tip the nose of the machine up a few inches
off the ground.
3. While continuing to hold the PTA Lever down, grip the sides of the
Handlebar while pulling up with the left hand and pushing down with the
right, swinging the front of the Trimmer to the right, and stopping at center.
4. Release the PTA Lever. This locks the Axle in the Normal operation mode
(Figure 18).
