4DR®TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER

Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid that gives off flammable vapor that can be ignited and cause a fire or explosion. Always

follow these precautions:

Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless,

tasteless, and poisonous gas.

Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose. Keep away from heat and open flame

and out of the reach of children.

Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged or after 5 years of use, whichever comes first.

Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and after the engine has cooled completely. Don't handle gasoline if you or

anyone nearby is smoking.

If you spill gasoline do not start the engine. Move the machine away from the area until the gas vapors have dissipated.

Before performing engine maintenance or repairs, shut down the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and wait 5 minutes

for the engine to cool.

Never change the engine governor settings or modify the engine speed.

Never check for an ignition spark with the spark plug or spark plug wire(s) removed. Always use an approved spark tester.

Never tamper with safety devices. Regularly check their proper operation.

Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosed area.

Keep combustible substances away from the engine when it is hot. Never cover the machine while the muffler is still hot.

To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine and muffler free of debris build-up.

Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner or the carburetor air intake cover removed.

Do not use flammable solutions to clean the air filter.

Never operate the engine without the muffler and deflector, if so equipped. Inspect the muffler and deflector periodically and

replace if necessary.

The muffler and engine become very hot and can cause a severe burn. Do not touch.

Protecting Yourself and Those around You

Safety with Gasoline - Powered Machines

This is a high-powered machine with moving parts operating at high speeds. Always take the following precautions when

operating this machine:

Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields.

We recommend wearing sturdy shoes with non-slip tread, long pants, and gloves while using this machine. Be sure the

gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or drawstrings.

Use ear protectors or ear plugs.

Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with these safety rules and operating instructions to use your DR TOW-

BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER.

Keep your hands and feet away from the blades, belt, pulley, and concealed areas while the engine is running.

Keep people and pets away from your machine and out of the work area at all times. Disengage the blade and stop the engine

if a person or pet is within 100 feet of the machine.

Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last

saw them.

Never allow people to ride on the mower.

Before mowing, clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, bones, sticks, etc.

Never remove or alter standard parts or add anything to the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER, especially all

shields and guards.

Before and while moving backwards, look behind, and down for small children.

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.

Use of machinery on slopes is a major factor in outdoor power equipment accidents. All slopes require caution. If you feel uneasy

on a slope, do not mow it. Always take the following precautions when using this machine on slopes:

Operate the machine up and down the face of slopes. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Never operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments or on slopes greater than 20 degrees.

Never operate on wet or slippery slopes.

Never park the tow vehicle on a steep grade or slope.

Attaching the Tow Bar to the Push Bar

The Tow Bar can be installed for offsetting to the right or left depending on

which side of the Tow Vehicle you choose to mow. See section “Offset

Mowing”in Chapter 3 to determine how the Tow Bar should be installed for

your needs. The following steps describe installing the Offset Bracket to allow

offsetting to the right side of the Tow Vehicle.

1. Secure the Offset Bracket to the Push Bar in the configuration shown (for

right side offset) using the 4.5" long Clevis Pin, Washer, and Hair Pin (Figure

4).

2. Align the Tow Bar so it is pointed straight out from the Mower and install a

Clevis Pin, Washer, and Hair Pin in the Offset Bracket to lock the Tow Bar in

position.

3. Align the Tow Bar Extension with the Tow Bar and install a Clevis Pin,

Washer, and Hair Pin in the Tow Bar to lock the Tow Bar Extension in place

(Figure 5).

3. Replace the Dipstick fully and then remove it to check the oil level. Continue

adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until the oil

reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to overfill.

4. Replace the Dipstick and turn it a quarter turn clockwise to lock it fully into

position.

5. Remove the Fuel Cap and fill the gas tank to within 1-1/2" below top of fill

neck (to allow for fuel expansion) with fresh, unleaded gas. Replace the Fuel

Cap when finished.

Connecting the Battery Wire

We ship all Electric-Starting machines with the green negative (ground) Battery

Wire disconnected. This prevents the Battery from discharging during

shipment. Before using your DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER,

you must connect the green negative Battery Wire.

1. Push the green negative Wire Connector fully onto the negative terminal of

the Battery (Figure 9).

You must add oil before starting the engine. This machine is shipped

without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from factory testing, but

YOU MUST ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. Fill the

reservoir slowly, checking the level frequently to avoid overfilling.

To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:

- The machine should be on a level surface.

- The dipstick SHOULD be screwed down on Briggs Engines.

- The dipstick SHOULD NOT be screwed down on DR Engines.
