Chapter 3: Operating The DR POWERWAGON
It may be helpful to better familiarize yourself with the features of your DR
POWERWAGON by reviewing Figure 2 in Chapter 2 before beginning the steps
outlined in this chapter.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Check the oil level every time
you use the machine (Figure 25 on page 14).
2. Check the gas level (Figure 25 on page 14).
3. Check the tires for proper inflation (Figure 24 on page 14).
4. Make sure the Dump Latch is secured (Premier and Pro Models) (Figure 2a
on page 7).
5. Set the Parking Brake by squeezing the Brake Lever on the right Handlebar
and lift up on the Parking Brake Lock, locking the Lever in place (Figure 27).
Note:
The DR POWERWAGON is equipped with an Operator Presence Control for
added safety. The Operator Presence Lever must be depressed whenever the Shift
Lever is in gear, or the Engine will stop
.
You may run the Engine without depressing
the Operator Presence Lever (Figure 27) only if the Shift Lever is in the "N"
(Neutral) position (Figure 28).
Electric Starting
1. Move the Shift Lever to the NEUTRAL N position (Figure 28).
2. Move the Throttle Lever to the FAST position.
3. Turn the Key to the START
position. As soon as the Engine starts,
release the Key, and it will return to the RUN
position.
Manual Recoil Starting
Note:
Manual recoil starting can be used for both Electric-Starting and Manual-
Starting models.
1. Move the Shift Lever to the NEUTRAL N position (Figure 28).
2. Move the Throttle Lever to the FAST
position.
3. Turn the Key to the RUN
position.
4. Pull the Recoil Handle slowly, until you feel resistance; then pull the Handle with a rapid, full arm stroke to overcome
compression and start the Engine (Figure 29). Repeat if necessary.
