POWERWAGON

Protecting Yourself and Those Around You

Slope Operation

Safety with Children and Pets

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the

machine and the hauling activity. Never

assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

 Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.

 Be alert and always turn off the DR POWERWAGON engine if children or pets enter the work area.

 Before, and while moving backwards, look behind, and down for small children and pets.

 Never allow children to operate the DR POWERWAGON.

 Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes require caution. If you feel

uneasy on a slope, do not use the DR POWERWAGON on it. Always take the following precautions when using this machine on

slopes:

Always:

 Traverse up and down the face of slopes; never across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

 Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps in the landscape.

 Use 1st gear on slopes with a maximum load of 800 lbs.

Never:

 Operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.

 Operate on slopes greater than 15 degrees, or any excessively steep slopes.

 Operate on wet, or slippery slopes; reduced traction could result in slipping.

 Park the DR POWERWAGON on a steep grade or slope.

This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds. Use proper clothing and safety

gear when operating this machine to prevent or minimize the risk of severe injury. You must operate the machine safely. Unsafe

operation can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this machine:

 Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your DR POWERWAGON. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing

them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.

 Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on the machine’s moving parts.

 Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.

 Never allow people who are unfamiliar with these instructions to use the DR POWERWAGON. Allow only responsible

individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation to use your machine.

 Never place your hands, feet, or any part of your body near or under any moving part while the machine is running.

 To be safe, do not operate the machine near small children or pets, and never allow children to operate the DR

POWERWAGON.

 The muffler and engine become very hot and can cause a severe burn; do not touch.

 Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the DR POWERWAGON. This

includes all shields and guards. Modifications to your machine could cause personal injuries and will void your warranty.
