SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE
The Engine lacks power or
is not running
smoothly. (Please refer to
the Engine Owner’s
Manual for Engine-specific
procedures.)
Check the Throttle travel and adjustment.
The Air Filter may be dirty, change it following the procedure in the Engine Owner’s Manual.
The Spark Plug may be dirty or cracked, change it.
If the Spark Plug is oily, leave it out, hold a rag over the Plug hole and pull the Recoil cord
several times to blow out any oil in the cylinder, then wipe off the Plug and reinsert it.
The gas may be old, change it. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than one month.
The Engine may not have the right amount of clean oil. If it is dirty, change it (8.75 Engines
only) following the procedure on page 23.

Reverse.
The Shift Lever may need adjusting. See page 27.
Wheels pulling left or right.
Check the tire(s) pressure. See page 14.

The Wheels will not turn.
Make sure that the DR POWERWAGON is in gear.

There is a Fuse under the Control Panel. Check the Fuse and replace if needed.
Check for loose electrical connections.
Check to be sure the Key Switch is in the RUN position to operate the Electric Dump System.
See page 20.
Check the Battery charge. If the Key activates the Starter, the Battery is sufficiently charged. If
it does not start the Engine, charge the Battery and repeat.
If the Electric Dump System still will not respond, call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for
assistance.
The Dump Bed stops with
the Switch Button

Release the Switch and try the opposite direction. If the Dump Bed moves, check the area
beneath the Dump Bed for obstructions.

as above.
If the Dump Bed still stops, call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
When performing any maintenance, you must first shut off the engine, set the parking brake, wait five (5) minutes to allow parts
to cool and disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.
