Burnishing is an important procedure that must be done prior to using the Brush Mower to ensure optimum performance. Please
read the following section to understand how to carry out these procedures before starting the machine and perform these
procedures as soon as you get the machine started.
Clutch Break-in (Burnishing)
The Blade Clutch on your machine should be burnished before use. This will
ensure that the optimum engaging and braking action can be achieved. This
procedure should be performed when the Clutch is new and before you use the
machine for the first time.
1.
The machine must be fully assembled and set up as detailed in this manual
before performing the following burnishing procedures. Use these
instructions along with the “Starting” and “Operating” sections of your
manual.
2.
Start the Engine and set the machine to half Throttle.
3.
Engage the Blade Clutch for 2 seconds, disengage and let it cool down for 10
seconds.
4.
Repeat step 3 for 50 cycles to fully burnish the Clutch.
Before Starting the Engine
1.
Check the oil level every time you use the machine. See your Engine
Owner’s Manual.
2.
Check the gasoline level.
3.

side of the Mower (Figure 13).
Note: The Premier model does not have a Fuel Shut-Off Valve.
4.
Make sure the Blade Control Switch is pushed down to the disengaged
position (Figure 14a and 14b).
Note: The Blade Control Switch must be pushed down or the Engine will not start.

Inspect the area where you will be working. The site must be free of
potentially hazardous obstacles such as glass, large stones, sticks, wire, rope,
and string-like materials. Make sure there are no people or animals in the
area around the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER.
This machine must have the Clutch “Burnished” before initial use to ensure that the Clutch performs at its full potential.
The longevity and efficiency of the Clutch will be compromised if this procedure is not performed.
