Chapter 4:  Maintaining the DR 2-CYCLE TILLER CULTIVATOR 

This chapter covers regular maintenance procedures that will ensure the best performance and long life of your DR 2-CYCLE 
TILLER CULTIVATOR. 

Regular Maintenance Checklist 

Note:  Consider that the service intervals shown are the maximum under normal operating conditions.  Increase frequencies under 

extremely dirty or dusty conditions. 

 

Procedure 

Before Each 

Use 

Every 35 

Hours 

Check the Engine mixed Fuel Level 

 

Clean the Tines and Tine Shield* 

After each use 

 

Check the general condition of the machine, e.g. 
nuts, bolts, welds, etc.

Clean Engine Exterior & Cooling Fins 

▲ 

 

Clean Air Filter 

▲ 

 

Check Tines for Wear 

 

▲ 

Replace Air Filter 

 

▲ 

Replace Spark Plug 

 

▲ 

*  Cover the Engine Muffler, Carburetor, and Air Filter before using a hose to clean the Tines and Tine Shield. 

Lubrication 

The Tines Drive Transmission Case has grease installed at the factory.  We recommend that once a year to have the Transmission 
opened by a qualified service professional and the grease level checked.  Add a molylithium type grease only if the level of the 
grease is below the top of the gears.  DO NOT OVERFILL. 

Prior to performing any 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.
