General Safety
Operating this DR 42" Lawn Mower Deck safely is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk of death or serious injury. Unsafe
operation can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this Lawn Mower Deck:
• This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds. You must use proper clothing
and safety gear when operating this machine to prevent or minimize the risk of severe injury. This machine can cut and sever
parts of your body if they contact the Moving Blades.
• Thoroughly inspect the area in which you will be working and remove all foreign objects. Clear the area of objects such as
Rocks, Toys, Wire, Bones, Sticks, Glass etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the Blades which could damage the
machine and/or cause injury.
• Read this Safety & Operating Manual before you use the DR 42" Lawn Mower Deck. Become familiar with the operation and
service recommendations to ensure the best performance from your Lawn Mower Deck.
• Never allow people who are unfamiliar with these instructions to use the Mower. Allow only responsible individuals who are
familiar with these rules of safe operation to use your machine.
• Keep your hands and feet away from the Blades, Belts, Blade Pulleys, and concealed areas while the engine is running. Never
reach under the Deck or grab hold of any part of the Deck when the Engine is running.
• Never use the Mower with the Discharge Chute removed.
• Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the dr 42" Lawn Mower Deck.
This includes all Shields and Guards. Modifications to your machine could cause personal injuries and property damage and
will void your warranty.
• Your DR 42" Lawn Mower Deck is a powerful tool, not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all times. The design of this
machine is to cut grass. Do not use it for any other purpose.
• Be sure all Blade and Wheel controls are disengaged before attempting to start the Engine. Engage and disengage the Mower
Blades a few times to get used to it before mowing.
• If you have to stop to remove grass or debris from the underside of the Deck, always shut off the Engine, allow the Engine to
cool five (5) minutes and remove the Spark Plug Wire(s) before removing grass or debris.
• Know how to stop the Blades quickly; see page 8.
• Stop the Blades when crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
• Always operate the Mower from behind. Never pass or stand on the discharge (right) side or in front of machine when the
Engine is running.
• Do not pull the Mower backwards unless absolutely necessary. Look down and behind before, and while moving backwards.
• If the machine starts to make an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the Engine and wait five (5) minutes for all
moving parts to come to a complete stop and cool. Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire(s). Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble. Inspect for clogging or damage. Clean and repair and/or replace damaged parts.
• Keep all Nuts and Bolts tight, especially the Blade attachment Bolts, and keep the equipment in good operating condition.
• The Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing.
• Keep bystanders at least 100 feet away from your work area at all times. Objects can be thrown far from the Mower and at
great speeds. To be safe, do not operate the machine near small children or pets, and never allow children to operate the
Mower. Disengage the Blades and stop the Engine when another person or pet approaches.
• Refer to your DR
Warnings and Cautions. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us at www.DRpower.com or call toll-free

1. Disengage the Blades by pushing down on the Blade Engage/Disengage
Knob.
NOTE: Releasing the Operator Presence Lever will cause the engine to shut off but
always remember to push down on the Blade Engage/Disengage Knob before trying
to start the Engine again.
Always disengage the Blades of the DR 42 " Lawn Mower Deck before
adjusting the cutting height.
Adjusting the Cutting Height
1. To change height settings, remove the Clevis Pin and re-position the Cutting
Height Adjustment Lever. After adjusting to a new height, re-insert the
Clevis (Figure 9).
NOTE: You can adjust the cutting height of the Mower Deck in 1/2" increments.
The Clevis Pin prevents accidental dislodging of the Cutting Height Adjustment Lever
over rough terrain.
The mower engine's power can easily throw stones, sticks, and other debris at great velocity, which could cause personal injury or
property damage. Never run the machine over gravel driveways or over loose stones or mulch with the mower deck blades
spinning.
• Always check your work area before mowing and remove any debris that might tangle or damage the machine.
• If you do run into debris and the Mower Deck becomes tangled, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire(s)
before attempting to untangle the machine.
8 DR
®
42" LAWN MOWER DECK
Slopes
When operating the DR 42" Lawn Mower Deck over uneven terrain or slopes, use extreme caution not to tip over the machine.
• Do not use the DR 42" Lawn Mower Deck on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Doing so could result in serious injury or
damage to your machine.
• If you have to mow on sloping terrain, mow across the slope, not up and down, for better control.
Tip: Locking the Differential in will improve traction, and keep the machine traveling on a straighter path. Once on level terrain,
Lock out the differential for easier turning.
• To avoid “free-wheeling”, shift into a lower gear before going down a slope. Do not shift while on a slope. Be ready to use the
brake, if necessary.
• The Mowing Deck pivots from side to side, which helps avoid scalping, and keeps the weight balanced over the drive wheels
when operating on uneven terrain.
If The Machine Becomes Obstructed
1. Disengage the Lawn Deck Blades. Do not try to free the machine from debris with the Blades engaged.
2. Try putting the machine in reverse and backing away from the obstacle.
3. Try pushing down on the Handlebars to lift the Mowing Deck over the obstacle.
• If you need to leave the operating position to clear debris from the Deck, first put the machine in "n" (neutral), turn the
Engine off, set the Brake, and disconnect the Spark Plug wire(s).
• Do not touch the exhaust areas when reaching for the Spark Plug(s), they are very hot.
Turns
• Use a low gear when turning. This will give you better control and a cleaner cut.
Reverse
• Be very careful of your footing when operating the machine in Reverse. Know what is behind you and take your time.
• Disengage the Lawn Deck Blades before shifting into Reverse. Mow in the Forward gears only, using Reverse for maneuvering.
• If you find it difficult to shift into Reverse, lightly "feather" the Clutch Lever as you put the Shift Lever into Reverse, then quickly
release the Clutch Lever.
Cutting in Wet and Heavy Grass
• Be very careful of your footing when mowing in wet conditions. Avoid steep slopes and other slippery areas.
• To achieve the best cut, mow when the grass is dry. If you have to mow when the grass is wet, use a lower, slower speed.
• We do not recommend using the optional Mulching Plate in wet and heavy grass.

⇒ A Pulley groove may have a nick in it. File off any nicks on the Pulleys.
⇒ Check the Belt for wear and hard spots.
⇒ The Belt may be stretched; replace it.
⇒ Check Flat Idler and Tensioning Pulley for alignment and wear; replace as needed.
⇒ The Discharge may be blocked. Disengage the Blades, turn off the engine, set the parking
brake, disconnect the spark plug wire(s), and then check for debris.
The Blades do not cut or
are loose.

Daily Checklist for the 42 "DR LAWN MOWER DECK
To help maintain your DR Lawn Mower Deck for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time
you use your Lawn Deck.
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the engine of the Field and Brush Mower, wait five (5) minutes
to allow all parts to cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.
[ ] Check the Belt for wear, proper alignment and tension.
[ ] Check the Blades for tightness, nicks and wear. Remove any wrapped weeds and grass from the Blade Bearing Housings
to prevent buildup.
[ ] Check the general condition of the Lawn Deck, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc.
[ ] Check Tire Pressure and wear.
[ ] Check the Belt Guards for damage.
End of Season and Storage
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the engine of the Field and Brush Mower, wait five (5) minutes
to allow all parts to cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.
• Remove any wrapped weeds from the blade bearing housings. Clean grass and debris from the top and underneath the
mower deck with a stiff brush.
• Check the blades for nicks and wear. Replace or sharpen and balance the blades if they become dull, or have them
professionally sharpened if needed. Never try to straighten a bent blade. Dull or bent blades can cause excessive vibration
and wear.
• Clean the exterior of the unit to remove all dirt, grease, and any other foreign material. To prevent rust, touch up painted
surfaces that have been scratched or chipped.
• Be sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.
• Inspect moving parts and the Drive Belt for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
• If possible, store the Lawn Deck in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the Lawn Deck outside, cover it with a
protective material.
