The Engine won’t start
using Electric-Start.
(Please refer to the
Engine Owner’s manual
for Engine-specific
procedures.)
Check all of the items under the section called Electric Starting on page 12 and the previous
section on Manual Starting.
Check the wire connections - especially the ground connection, the large black wire coming
from the Battery, where it connects to the Engine.
Make sure the Battery is 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 25.
If your Battery is charged and your DR TRIMMER/MOWER still won’t start, visit our web
site 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 travel. The Throttle Lever should be in the most forward position (RUN
position) when the engine is warm.
Check for debris (hay seed, etc.) clogging the Air Filter Intake and clean out as required.
The Engine’s Blower Housing, Throttle Linkage, and Cooling Fins should be free of debris.
Clean them following the instructions in the Engine Owner’s Manual.
Check that the Air Filter is clean. If it is dirty, change it following the procedure in the
Engine Owner’s Manual.
Remove the Spark Plug wire and dry the connection with a rag.
The Spark Plug may be dirty or cracked, change it. If it’s oily, leave it out, hold a rag over
the Spark Plug hole and pull the Recoil Cord several times to blow out any oil in the
Cylinder, then wipe off the Spark Plug and reinsert it.
You should be using fresh, clean, unleaded gas. If it is old, change it. Use a fuel stabilizer
if you keep gas longer than one month.
Check that the Engine has the right amount of clean oil. If it is dirty, change it following the
procedure on page 23.
If your Engine still lacks power, visit our web site at www.DRPower.com or call 1-800-DR-
OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
The Trimmer Head
won’t spin or lacks
power.
Check for proper alignment of the V-Belt. Check it against Figure 27 in the “Replacing the
Belt” section on page 19.
The Belt may be worn or frayed; if so, replace it.
If the Trimmer Head still will not spin, follow the procedure for “Adjusting the Trimmer
Head Belt Tension through the Trimmer Control Cable” on page 24.
If none of the above helps, visit our web site at www.DRPower.com or call 1-800-DR-
OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
The Trimmer Head
keeps spinning or spins
when you release the
Engage Bar.
Check for proper alignment of the V-Belt. Check it against Figure 27 in the “Replacing the
Belt” section on page 19.
If you just installed a new belt, make sure you run it in by engaging the head at least 10
times.
If the Trimmer Head keeps spinning when you release the Engage Bar, see “Adjusting the
Trimmer Head Belt Tension through the Trimmer Control Cable” on page 24.
If none of the above helps, visit our web site at www.DRPower.com or call 1-800-DR-
OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
