Recoil will not pull out 
or is difficult to pull. 

 

Check that the Tine Drive Clutch is disengaged. 

 

Check the Engine Oil level; the Engine may be seized. 

 

There may be an Oil compression lock in the Cylinder. Take out the Spark Plug; hold a rag over the 
Spark Plug Hole and pull the Recoil Cord several times to blow out any Oil in the Cylinder. Wipe off 
the Spark Plug and reinstall it. 

 

The Recoil may be broken or jammed. Visit our website at www.DRpower.com. 

The Engine will not 
start. 
 

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

 

Check that the Tine Drive Clutch is disengaged. 

 

Check that the Spark Plug Wire is attached. 

 

Check the Oil and Gas level. See page 9. 

 

The Gas may be old; change it if necessary. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep Gas longer than one 
month. 

 

The Fuel Tank may be clogged.  Remove it and clean it out. 

 

Check the Throttle and Choke settings, adjustment and travel. 

 

The Engine is Choked improperly flooding the Engine. Move the Choke to the RUN position, move 
the Throttle to the FAST position and pull the Recoil Starter several times to clear out Gas. 

 

The Spark Plug may be dirty or cracked; change it if necessary. If it’s oily, leave it out, hold a rag 
over the Plug Hole and pull the Recoil Cord several times to blow out any Oil in the Cylinder, then 
wipe off the Plug and reinsert it. 

 

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

 

If your Engine still won’t start, visit our website at www.DRpower.com. 

The Engine lacks 
power or is not 
running smoothly. 
 

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

 

The Engine is overloaded.  Set Depth Stake and Wheels for shallower tilling. 

 

Check the Throttle; it should be set in the FAST position. 

 

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

 

Dirty Air Screen.  Clean the Air Screen. 

 

The Spark Plug may be dirty or cracked; change it if necessary. If it’s oily, leave it out, hold a rag 
over the Plug hole and pull the Recoil Cord several times to blow out any Oil in the Cylinder, then 
wipe off the Plug, check the gap and reinsert it. 

 

The Gas may be old; change it if necessary. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep Gas longer than one 
month. 

 

The Engine Oil may be dirty. Change it if necessary, following the procedure on page 16. 

 

If your Engine still lacks power, visit our website at www.DRpower.com. 

 

When performing any maintenance, you must first shut off the Engine; wait five (5) minutes to allow parts to cool and disconnect 
the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.
