Daily Checklist for the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
To help maintain your TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER for optimum performance, we
recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your machine.
[ ] OIL: With the machine on a level surface, check the Engine oil level with the Dipstick and add more
if necessary (only add oil to the level indicated on the Dipstick - DO NOT OVERFILL). Use
SAE 30 HD (High Detergent) motor oil. See page 15.
[ ] GAS: Fill the Fuel Tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
[ ] ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the Engine clean of debris. Remove
grass and other built-up materials from the Air Intake Screen
before, during, and after you mow. Regularly remove debris
from the Blower Housing and Cooling Fins. A dirty Engine
retains heat and can cause damage to the internal Engine parts.
[ ] BLADES: Check the Blades for tightness, nicks and wear. Remove any wrapped weeds and grass
from the Blades’ Spindle to prevent buildup.
[ ] TIRES: Check the Tires for wear and proper inflation.
[ ] FRAME: Check all welds to be sure that the Frame is intact and secure.
[ ] GENERAL CONDITION: Check the general condition of the machine, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds etc.
[ ] REMOTE CONTROL PANEL: Check that the Remote Control Panel is secured to the Tow Vehicle
and within reach of the seated driver.
[ ] FRONT GUARD: Check the Front Guard for wear and damage. If worn, or damaged, replace it
before using the machine.
