SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE
The cut material
is not being
properly
discharged out
of the right side
of the machine.
⇒ The discharge may be blocked. Disengage the blade,
turn off the engine, set the brake and disconnect the
spark plug wire(s), then check for debris.
Heavier growth
gets hung up
under the
machine and
does not
discharge.
⇒ Try removing the baffle under the front of the mowing
deck.
Blade vibrates
when engaged.
⇒ The blade may not be seated properly on the hub.
Loosen the blade nut, reset the blade and tighten the
nut.
⇒ The spindle bearings may be bad.
⇒ Call 1(800) DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
The blade is not
cutting or is
loose.
⇒ The blade may not be seated properly on the hub.
Loosen the blade nut, reset the blade and tighten the
nut.
Wheels pulling
left or right.
⇒ Check the tire pressure. There should be 14 psi in
each tire.
The Wheel
Drive Clutch
and/or Brake
lever will freeze
up during cold
weather
operation.
⇒ Moisture is getting into the cable housing(s) and
freezing. Using a syringe, inject “dry gas” into the
cable-housing opening to absorb the moisture. Tip the
machine forward slightly so the “dry gas” will flow
down the inside of the housing. After the ice blockage
has thawed, lubricate the cable(s) with FLUID FILM
®
or comparable lubricant. See page 23.
