- Page 31 The DR PRO XL-DRT is warranted for two (2) years against defects in materials or workmanship when put to ordinary and normal consumer use; ninety (90) days for any other use. For the purposes of all the above warranties, “ordinary and normal consumer use” refers to non-commercial residential use and does not include misuse, accidents or damage due to inadequate maintenance.
- Page 32 If your DR PRO XL-DRT will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer or draining the fuel system. 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.

Questions and answers
When I push down on the forward lever the times go in reverse and when I pull up on the reverse lever the tubes don’t go around
When the shift lever is moved to the "F" (Forward) position and the drive control bar is engaged, the tines rotate clockwise for tilling soft or pre-tilled soil. In the "R" (Reverse) position, the tines rotate counter-clockwise for tilling hard ground. The tines' rotation direction is controlled by the shift lever position, not by pushing or pulling on the lever. If the tines don’t rotate in reverse, it may be due to not engaging the drive control bar, or a mechanical issue. Always release the drive control lever before shifting to avoid damage.

How do i check the oil on a DR. ProXLDRT garden Tiller. The oil lipstick has no markings on the lipstick to tell how full the oil is
To check the oil level on a DR® PRO XL-DRT garden tiller:
1. Ensure the tiller is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
3. Wipe the dipstick clean and reinsert it. On Briggs & Stratton engines, screw the dipstick down before checking.
4. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should reach the FULL mark.
5. Add oil if necessary, but do not overfill.

3. Choke Control: If starting a cold engine, move the choke control to the CHOKE CLOSED position.
