Chapter 3: Operating Your DR 2-CYCLE TILLER CULTIVATOR
This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping your new DR 2-CYCLE TILLER CULTIVATOR and discusses basic
operation features.
Before Starting the Engine
Cold Engine Start:
1.
Push the Primer Bulb in and then release until it returns to its original
position (Figure 6). Repeat this process 6 times or until the Primer Hose is
full of fuel.
2.
Move the Choke Lever all the way to the CHOKE position and make sure the
On/Off Switch is in the ON position (Figure 7).
3.
Standing between the Handlebars, push down on the Handlebar lifting the
Tines off the ground (Figure 8). Grasp the Recoil Starter Handle with your
left hand and slowly pull until you feel resistance, then pull the cord with a
smooth accelerating motion to start the Engine. Do not let the Starter
Handle snap back against the Engine. One or two pulls usually starts the DR
2-CYCLE TILLER CULTIVATOR.
Note: If the Engine fails to start after 5-6 pulls, push the Primer Bulb 1 more time
and pull the Starter Rope again.
4.
After the Engine starts, release the Throttle Lever and move your left hand to
the Handlebar position for stability. Slowly push the Choke Lever to the half
choke position with your right hand until the Engine starts to run smoother
and then all the way to the RUN position.
5.
Squeeze the Throttle to the desired speed. For the best Engine performance,
do not hold the engine at full throttle while the tines are not making contact
with your working area. Running the engine at maximum throttle without
and load applied may cause engine damage.
Warm Engine Start:
1.
Make sure the On/Off Switch is in the ON position (Figure 7).
2.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 with the Choke in the RUN position.

Make sure the machine is in a stable position before pulling the starter
rope.
The starter rope can cause an unanticipated jerk (kick back) towards the
Engine. Please follow these instructions to avoid injury.
Remove all long vegetation from the site. Long vegetation will wrap around
the Tines and cause poor performance. Remove any built up debris from
the Tines.
Remove any debris from the Air Cleaner Holes and around the Fuel Tank
Cap for proper airflow.
