Daily Checklist for the DR POWERWAGON

To help maintain your DR POWERWAGON for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time you

use your machine.

[ ] OIL: With the machine on a level surface, remove the Oil Fill Cap and check the oil level. Fill the reservoir according to the Dipstick

with SAE30 HD motor oil.

[ ] GAS: Fill the Fuel Tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline.

[ ] ENGINE: It is very important to keep the Engine clean. Remove grass and other debris from the Engine Cooling Fins and Debris Guard.

A dirty Engine retains heat and can cause damage to internal Engine components.

[ ] BELT: Check the Belt for wear.

[ ]

AIR FILTER:

A clean Air Filter will mean a much easier starting and cooler running Engine. Please refer to your Engine Owner's Manual

for instructions on cleaning the Air Filter.

[ ] TIRES: Check the Tires for wear and proper inflation.

End of Season and Storage

Note: Please refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for Engine-specific procedures.

 Change the oil (8.75 Engines only); this will help to eliminate sludge and acids in the Engine. For winter use, use SAE 5W – 30W.

 If your DR POWERWAGON will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer. 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. Completely fill the tank with

fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive. Run the Engine for a short time to allow the

additive to circulate.

 Remove the Spark Plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the cylinder hole. Replace the Plug and pull the Recoil Starter Rope

until you feel strong resistance. This will coat the piston and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.

 Clean and/or replace the Air Filter(s).

 Clean dirt and debris from the cylinder head cooling fins, carburetor linkage, blower housing, rotating screen, and muffler area of the

Engine.

 Check to make sure the operator controls are moving freely. Lubricate the Throttle Lever Cable, Parking Brake Cable and Traction

Control cable with SAE 30 Oil if necessary. See page 22.

 Electric starting models: Remove the Battery and keep it in a cool, dry place when the DR POWERWAGON is in storage. We suggest

charging the Battery once a month while the DR is stored, and again before you are ready to start the new season. This will help the

Battery maintain its charge all season. See page 21.

When performing any maintenance, you must first shut off the engine, set the parking brake, wait five minutes to allow parts to

cool and disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.
