Unloading the Bed
Dumping – Manually
Note: For safety reasons, the DR POWERWAGON Bed is designed NOT to dump
automatically once you release the Dump Lever. You must pull the Dump Handle
up to lift the back of the Bed to cause it to tip forward.
1. Shift the machine to Neutral and set the Parking Bake.
2. Remove the Tailgate (Pro Model only) (Figure 35).
3. Stand at the right rear of the Bed.
4. Pull up on the Handle of the Dump Lever to dump the load (Figure 36).
5. After unloading, push the Bed back down into place by hand. Be sure the
Dump Lever latches securely.
Note: The Bed of the DR POWERWAGON is balanced so you can dump the load
with minimal effort. If you are carrying a very heavy load, you may not be able to lift
the Bed to dump it when you release the Latch Lever. In this case, you will need to
manually remove part of the load from the back of the Bed, until the load is light
enough to allow the Bed to tip forward when you lift up on the back of it.
Electric Dump System – Pro-XL Model
The Electric Dump System brings new conveniences to the function of your DR
POWERWAGON. We have included some operating hints and precautions.
Please review them carefully.
Operating the Electric Dump
1. Shift the machine to Neutral and set the Parking Brake.
2. Remove the Tailgate.
3. If the Engine is Off, turn the Key to the RUN
position.
4. Hold the Electric Dump Switch in the upper “DUMP” position, to raise the
Bed to empty it (Figure 37).
5. Hold Power Dump Switch down in the lower “FLAT” position, to lower the
Bed.
Operating Hints
 The Electric Dump System allows the Bed to be stopped and positioned anywhere in the tipping range. Emptying loose
material and depositing solid loads in a more precise way.
 The Electric Dump System also makes it possible to distribute loose materials over an area rather than in a concentrated pile
for distribution later. With the Bed partially tipped, you can move your DR POWERWAGON in reverse while the material flows
from the front of the Bed. This is especially helpful in road maintenance and similar work.
 Make certain you are familiar with the terrain where you intend to work and anticipate the effect that load changes in the Dump
Bed might have upon operating factors. Review your Safety
& Operating Instructions Manual carefully for safe procedures.
