AUSE

 

The Engine will not 
start. 
 

(Please refer to the 
Engine Owner’s Manual 
for Engine-specific 
procedures.) 

 

Check all the items under the section called “Starting” on page 15. 

 

Check that the Blade Control Knob is DOWN in the Disengaged position. 

 

Make sure the Spark Plug wire(s) is attached. 

 

If the Engine is cold, make sure the Throttle is in the CHOKE position.  See “Starting” on page 
15. 

 

The gas must be fresh and clean.  If the gas is old, change it.  Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep 
gas longer than one month. 

 

Check the Throttle adjustment and travel.  See page 12. 

 

The Spark Plug(s) may be dirty or cracked, change it. 

 

If the Spark Plug(s) is oily, leave it out, 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 may be dirty, change it following the procedure in the Engine Owner’s Manual. 

 

There are two Fuses in the Wiring Harness.  Check the Fuses and replace if needed. 

 

Check the wire connections—especially the ground connection, the large green wire coming 
from the Battery, where it connects to the Engine. 

 

The Battery may not be charged.  Check the voltage yourself or at a service station.  If it is low, 
charge it with a 12-volt, 1 to 2-amp trickle charger.  If you do not use your machine for at least 
45 minutes at a time, the Battery may need to be periodically charged.  See the “Battery Care” 
section on page 23. 

 

If the Battery is charged and your DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD & BRUSH MOWER still will not 
start, visit our website at www.DRpower.com or call 

1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) 

for 

assistance. 

The Engine lacks 
power or is not 
running smoothly. 
 

(Please refer to the 
Engine Owner’s 
Manual for Engine-
specific procedures.)

 

 

Check the Throttle Lever travel and adjustment.  Make sure the Throttle Lever is in the 
Run position.  

 

The Air Filter may be dirty, change it following the procedure in the Engine Owner’s 
Manual. 

 

The Spark Plug(s) may be dirty or cracked, change it. 

 

If the Spark Plug(s) is oily, leave it out, 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 gas must be fresh and clean.  If the gas is old, change it.  Use a fuel stabilizer if 
you keep gas longer than one month. 

 

The Engine may not have the right amount of clean oil.  If it is dirty, change it following 
the procedure on page 19. 

 

If the Engine still lacks power, visit our website at www.DRPower.com or call 1-800-DR-
OWNER (376-9637)for assistance.

 

When performing any adjustment or maintenance, you must first shut off the engine, wait five (5) minutes to allow parts to cool 
and disconnect the spark plug wire(s), keeping it away from the spark plug(s).
