We want you to enjoy years of productive use from your DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

.  We don't want 

you to get injured, so please take a few moments to read the following guidelines for safely 
operating your new machine. 

•

 

Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

.  If you have safety 

shoes, we recommend that you wear them.  Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing 
open sandals. 

•

 

Use ear muffs or ear plugs to protect your valuable hearing. 

•

 

Wear gloves to protect your hands, as well as to provide additional comfort and support. 

•

 

Read these Safety & Operating Instructions as well as the engine manufacturer's owner's manual 
before you use the DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

.  Become familiar with the controls, engine and 

service recommendations to ensure the best performance from your machine. 

•

 

Inspect the area you'll be working in BEFORE using the DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

.  Remove any 

obstacles and avoid areas with poor footing. 

Be sure the machine is in NEUTRAL and the brake is set before attempting to start the engine. 
Fill the gasoline tank outdoors.  Avoid spilling gasoline and don't fill the tank while the engine is 

running or if you are smoking. 

Remember:  The gas fill on the DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

 is located beneath the dump body.  Keep 

this in mind as you work to avoid running out of gas with a full load.  On average, the DR

®

 

POWERWAGON

™

 will run continuously for about 45 minutes.  This running time will vary 

depending on the speeds used, loads carried and terrain covered. 

Unless there is very good artificial light, only use the DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

 during the daylight 

hours. 

Always operate the DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

 from behind the handlebars, never from the side. 

Operating the DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

 in wet grass could increase the danger of your slipping, 

falling and being injured.  Use extra CAUTION in wet areas. 

When operating over uneven terrain and slopes, use EXTREME CAUTION and make sure of solid 

and firm footing at all times.  THINK SAFETY!  Loads should be less than 300 pounds on 
slopes.  The steeper the slope, the lighter the load. 

Never allow children to operate the DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

.  Never carry children, adults or pets in 

the body of the DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

.  

Give complete and undivided attention to the job at hand, and be sure you know how to stop the 

DR

®

 POWERWAGON

™

 at a moment's notice.  Use caution when another person approaches. 

Keep hands away from belts and pulleys when the engine is running.
