 Safety & Operating Instructions 

 

Safety Information 

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. 

Dress Appropriately 

 

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. 

Preparation 

 

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. 

Operating the Machine Safely 

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.
