The DR POWERWAGON must be operated safely to prevent or minimize the risk of minor or moderate injury. Unsafe operation
can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this machine:
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and
themselves.
Your DR POWERWAGON is not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all times. The design of this machine is to haul
material. Do not use it for any other purpose.
Give complete and undivided attention to the job at hand. Before you use your new machine, be sure you know how to
engage the parking brake and stop the DR POWERWAGON at a moment's notice.
Always operate the DR POWERWAGON from behind the handlebars, never from the side.
Never use the DR POWERWAGON to drag or tow items.
Do not overload the DR POWERWAGON. Be careful of top-heavy loads. The higher the load, the more chance of tipping over
the machine. Loads may shift during operation; to be safe, secure your loads and even them out when possible. The
maximum load is 500 lbs. (Premier), 700 lbs. (Pro) and 800 lbs. (Pro-XL).
Use 1st gear with loads over 300 lbs. And on slopes. Excessive speed can be dangerous. Operate the machine in the lowest
gear that is satisfactory to do the job.
Safety with Gasoline-Powered Machines
General Safety
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives off flammable vapor that can be easily ignited and cause a fire or
explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline. Always follow these precautions:
Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon
monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and deadly poisonous gas.
Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose and keep away from heat and open
flame, and out of the reach of children.
Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and allow the engine to cool completely. Do not handle gasoline if you or
anyone nearby is smoking or if you are near anything that could cause it to ignite or explode. Replace the fuel tank and fuel
container caps securely.
If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating
any source of ignition until the gas vapors have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly
dispose of the waste.
Allow the engine to cool completely before storing the DR POWERWAGON in any enclosure. Never store the machine with
gas in the tank or a fuel container near an open flame or spark, such as a water heater.
Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the
spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
Never check for an ignition spark with the spark plug or spark plug wire removed. Use an approved spark tester.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
Do not change the engine governor settings or modify the engine speed. Modifications will void your warranty.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine cooling fan and muffler area free of debris build-up such as leaves, grass, oil, grease or
any other combustible material.
Never operate the engine without the muffler. Inspect the muffler periodically and replace if necessary. If equipped with a
muffler deflector, inspect the deflector periodically and replace if necessary.
Never operate the engine with the air cleaner or cover over the carburetor air intake removed, except for adjustment. Removal
of such parts could create a fire hazard. Do not use flammable solutions to clean air filter.
Check fuel lines and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks, replace if necessary.
Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged and after 5 years of use.
