Protecting Yourself and Those around You
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 FINISH
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 FINISH 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.
Safety with Gasoline - Powered Machines
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.

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 positioning the Offset Bracket to
allow offset 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 18).
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.
Always install the Clevis Pins from the bottom with the Washers and Hair Pins
on top to prevent the Hair Pin from being pulled out by tall grass or bushes.
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 19).
4. Raise the Deck (see “Adjusting the Mower Deck Height” in Chapter 3) and
with a helper, roll machine backwards off Pallet. You May need to use a bar
to lift deck over the Blocks if it gets hung up.

1. Engage the Blades by pulling up on the Blade Switch Safety Cover and
pushing forward on the Blade Control Switch (Figure 28).
Stopping the Blades
1. Push down on the Blade Control Safety Cover (Figure 26).
Adjusting the Mower Deck Height
Shut off the engine before adjusting the deck height or serious injury may
result. The blades could sever your foot if it goes under the deck with the
engine running.
Never get off the Tow Vehicle without shutting off the Tow Vehicle engine
and engaging the parking brake.
Keep your foot clear of the mower deck when adjusting the height. You could
pinch your foot if it is under the deck.
Note: The TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER Deck cutting Height
ranges from a minimum of 1-1/2" to a maximum of 5-1/2".
1. Remove the Locking Pin from the Height Adjuster (Figure 29).
2. Lift the Handle up to the operating position and re-install the Locking Pin
(Figure 30).
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the Height Adjuster on the opposite side.

Note: Rotating the Height Adjusters Clockwise will lower the Mower Deck. Rotating
the Height Adjusters Counter Clockwise will raise the Mower Deck. Ten full rotations
equal 1" of height change.
4. Rotate both Height Adjusters in the desired direction, switching sides about
every ten full turns, until the top of the Sway Brace is aligned with the
desired cutting height lines on the Height Adjust label. (Figure 31).
5. After the height is set the same on both sides of the machine, rotate the
Handle to the inside of the Frame, pull the Locking Pin, fold the Handle
down and insert the Locking Pin to secure the Handle in the down position.
The Height Adjust Handle should always be pinned on the inside of the
Frame and in the down position for mowing. This prevents the Height
Adjuster from rotating and lowering the Deck during use.
Offset Mowing
The Tow Bar allows you to offset the cutting path of the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER up to 68" (Mow Pro-44
Model) and 76" (Mow Pro-60 Model) from the center of the Tow Vehicle. The various offset positions are listed in the
“Specifications” section in Chapter 2. Offset mowing allows you to mow closer to equipment, trees, and fences while the Tow
Vehicle stays at a safer distance. It also allows you to drive in an area already cut and not through grass that hasn’t been cut yet.
See the section “Changing the Tow Bar Offset Direction” on the next page to allow offsetting the Mower to the left side of the Tow
Vehicle.
When performing offset mowing, always be sure that the Tow Bar offset and the Tow Bar Extension offset match (Figure 32). This
ensures the Tow-Behind DR Field and Finish Mower will track parallel to the tow vehicle path.
Offsetting the Tow Bar:
1. Remove the Hair Pin, Washer, and Clevis Pin that secures the Tow Bar in
the Offset Bracket (Figure 33).
2. Rotate the Tow bar to the Desired Offset (No Offset, Middle Offset, or Full
Offset).
3. Reinstall the Clevis Pin, Washer, and Hair Pin to Lock the Tow Bar in Place.
Center of
Mower
Always install the Clevis Pins from the bottom with the Washers and Hair Pins
on top to prevent the Hair Pin from being pulled out by tall grass or bushes.
Offsetting the Tow Bar Extension:
1. Remove the Hair Pin, Washer, and Clevis Pin that secures the Tow Bar
Extension to the Tow Bar (Figure 34).
2. Rotate the Tow bar Extension so that the Offset angle is the same as at the
Offset Bracket (No Offset, Middle Offset, or Full Offset).
3. Reinstall the Clevis Pin, Washer, and Hair Pin to Lock the Tow Bar

Battery Care (Electric Start Model Only)
Proper care can extend the life of a Battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure your Battery’s best performance and long
life:
Do not allow the Battery charge to get too low. If the machine is not used, charge the Battery every 4 – 6 weeks. Operate the
Engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper Battery charge.
Store an unused Battery in a dry area that does not freeze.
Do not charge an already charged Battery. In theory, you cannot overcharge our Battery with a trickle Charger; however, when a
Battery is fully charged and the Charger is still on, it generates heat that could be harmful to the Battery. A fully charged Battery
will read 12V-13.2V with a Voltmeter.
Do not continue to crank the Engine when the Battery charge is low.
Disposing of the Battery Responsibly
The Battery is a sealed lead-acid Battery. Recycle or dispose of it in an environmentally sound way.
Do not dispose of a lead-acid Battery in a fire; the Battery may explode or leak.
Do not dispose of a lead-acid Battery in your regular, household trash. Laws in most areas prohibit incinerating, disposing in a
landfill, or mixing a sealed lead-acid Battery with household trash.
Charging the Battery
Operate the Mower Engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper Battery charge. If the Battery loses its charge, you'll need to
use a trickle Charger (like the DR Battery Charger) to recharge it. The Charger should have an output of 12 volts at no more than 2
amps.
Note: The charging system of a running engine is designed to maintain a battery’s present charge. Starting a machine that has a
significantly discharged or dead Battery using the Recoil Starter or Jumper Cables will not recharge the Battery.
To connect a Battery Charger to your TOW BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER, follow the steps listed below.
1. Detach the two Battery wires going to the Battery on your Mower.
2. Attach the black (-) Battery Charger wire to the Battery negative (-) terminal, and attach the red (+) Battery Charger wire to the
Battery positive (+) terminal.
3. Plug the Battery Charger into an outlet.
4. Charge until Battery Charger indicates that it is charged or Battery measures to 12-14V
At 1 amp, you may have to charge the Battery for as long as 24 hours.
At 2 amps, you may have to charge the Battery for as long as 12 hours.
5. Once Charged, disconnect Charger from outlet
6. Disconnect Battery from the Charger.
7. Reconnect the Battery Wires.
Recycling a Used Battery
Please dispose of used batteries responsibly, according to your local hazardous materials regulations. Never throw away used
batteries in your household trash.
Please dispose of your used Batteries responsibly by recycling them. Call your local Solid Waste Management District or your
local waste handler to locate the collection site nearest you. Some collection sites recycle Batteries year-round; others collect
them periodically.

Daily Checklist for the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER
When performing any adjustment or maintenance, you must first shut off the engine, wait five minutes to allow parts to cool and
disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.
To help maintain your TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER for optimum performance, we recommend you follow
this checklist each time you use your machine.
[ ] Check the engine oil and Gas Tank level.
[ ] Check that Engine is clean of debris.
[ ] Check the general condition of the Mower, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc.
[ ] Check Tire Pressure and wear.
[ ] Check the Frame for wear and damage.
[ ] Check the Blades and Spindle for tightness, nicks, cracks, wear or debris that has wrapped around.
End of Season and Storage
When performing any adjustment or maintenance, you must first shut off the engine, wait five minutes to allow parts to cool and
disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.
Note: Please refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for Engine-specific procedures.
Change the Engine Oil and Oil Filter (Mow Pro-60) and replace the Fuel Filter.
Remove the Spark Plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the Cylinder hole. Replace the Plug and crank the Engine over a couple
of times using the Starter Pull Cord or the Electric Starter (Mow Pro-60). This will coat the pistons and seat the valves to prevent
moisture buildup.
Clean or replace the Air Filter(s).
Clean dirt and debris from the Cylinder Head Cooling Fins, Blower Housing, Debris Screen, and Muffler area of the Engine.
If your TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer. This will
prevent sediment from gumming up the Carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the gas or tank, remove it by draining the tank.
Completely fill the tank with fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive. Run the Engine for a
short time to allow the additive to circulate.
Remove any wrapped weeds from the Blades Carrier Housing. Clean grass and debris from the top and underneath the mower Deck
with a stiff brush.
Check the Blades for nicks and wear. Remove the Blades and sharpen them, or have them professionally sharpened if needed.
Touch-up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces. Sand them lightly before painting.
Be sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.
Inspect moving parts and the Blades’ Drive Belt for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
Store the Battery in a dry area that will not freeze. If you will not use the machine over a long period, charge the Battery every four to six
weeks.
If possible, store your TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER inside, but not near an open flame or spark such as found in a
water heater.
After the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER has cooled, cover the machine with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture. Do not use plastic, as this material cannot breathe; it also allows condensation to form, which will cause your machine
to rust.
