Protecting Yourself and Those Around You
This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds. Use proper clothing and safety gear when operating this machine to prevent or minimize the risk of severe injury. You must operate the machine safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this machine:
Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your DR POWERWAGON. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.
Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on the machine’s moving parts.
Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.
Never allow people who are unfamiliar with these instructions to use the DR POWERWAGON. Allow only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation to use your machine.
Never place your hands, feet, or any part of your body near or under any moving part while the machine is running.
To be safe, do not operate the machine near small children or pets, and never allow children to operate the DR
POWERWAGON.
The muffler and engine become very hot and can cause a severe burn; do not touch.
Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the DR POWERWAGON. This includes all shields and guards. Modifications to your machine could cause personal injuries and will void your warranty.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not use the DR POWERWAGON on it. Always take the following precautions when using this machine on slopes:
Always:
Traverse up and down the face of slopes; never across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps in the landscape.
Use 1st gear on slopes with a maximum load of 800 lbs.
Never:
Operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
Operate on slopes greater than 15 degrees, or any excessively steep slopes.
Operate on wet, or slippery slopes; reduced traction could result in slipping.
Park the DR POWERWAGON on a steep grade or slope.
Safety with Children and Pets
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the machine and the hauling activity. Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
Be alert and always turn off the DR POWERWAGON engine if children or pets enter the work area.
Before, and while moving backwards, look behind, and down for small children and pets.
Never allow children to operate the DR POWERWAGON.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.

Safety with Gasoline-Powered Machines
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.
General Safety
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. contact us at
w w w .D Rpow e r .com

General Safety (Continued)
Use caution when moving downhill and braking. Apply the parking brake slowly to avoid tipping forward.
When shifting to reverse, be careful to avoid tipping as the swivel wheel changes direction.
Watch for traffic when operating near roadways.
Never allow people or pets to ride in the DR POWERWAGON.
If the machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, stop the engine and wait five (5) minutes to cool. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Disconnect the spark plug wire and inspect for damaged parts. Clean and repair and/or replace damaged parts.
Built-in safety features, such as the operator presence system, are effective only when maintained and kept in place.
Always keep the equipment in a good safe operating condition. Always make certain nuts and bolts are tight and always use the supplied self-locking hardware; do not substitute. Use only approved DR parts.
Use the DR POWERWAGON only in daylight.
While using the machine, do not hurry or take things for granted. When in doubt about the equipment or your surroundings, stop the machine and take the time to look things over. Make sure that you have 100% control of the machine at all times.
Never leave the DR POWERWAGON unattended with the engine running.
Do not operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by DR
Power Equipment.

Check the Tire Pressure
Tools Needed:
Tire Pressure Gauge
Air Compressor
Do not over inflate the tires. Inflate to the manufacturers recommended pressure found on the tires.
Valve Stem
Protective
Cap
Figure 24
1.
Remove the Valve Stem Protective Cap and check the tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge (Figure 24).
2.
If the pressure is too low, add air through the Valve Stem with an air hose.
3.
Replace the Valve Stem Protective Cap when finished.
Note:
The heavier the load, the higher the tire pressure should be. Do not go above the maximum recommended load or pressure.
Adding Oil and Gasoline
Engine Oil Capacity:
Refer to the Engine Owner’s manual for Engine capacities and specifications.
You must add oil before starting the engine. This machine is shipped without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from factory testing, but you must add oil before starting the engine. Fill the reservoir slowly, checking the dipstick frequently to avoid overfilling.
To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
The machine should be on a level surface.
The dipstick should be screwed down on Briggs & Stratton engines.
Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the Caps on the Fuel and Oil Fills until you are ready to pour either gasoline or oil into the correct Fill.
Note:
Use only SAE 30 High Detergent oil. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine
Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information. You must lift the Bed to access the Oil and Fuel Reservoirs.
Gas Fill
Cap
1.
Place the machine on a level surface and lift the Bed to the fully up position
(Figure 25).
2.
Remove the Oil Dipstick/Fill Cap.
3.
Initially add 14 oz. of SAE 30 High Detergent oil recommended by the
Engine Manufacturer and wait one minute for the oil to settle.
4.
Check the level on the Dipstick and continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until the oil reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to overfill.
5.
Fill the Fuel Tank to not more than 1/4" from the bottom of the Fill Neck with fresh, unleaded gas. See the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for more information.

POWERWAGON
Loading
The recommended maximum load limit for the DR POWERWAGON is 500 lbs (Premier), 700 lbs (Pro) or 800 lbs (Pro-XL).
Never operate on slopes greater than 15°. Placing more weight in the bed may be dangerous to the operator and can permanently damage the unit.
Be careful when transporting heavy loads with your DR POWERWAGON. If the brake is applied suddenly, the load may shift and the wagon may start to tip forward. Brake slowly and try to avoid overloading the wagon.
When loading your DR POWERWAGON keep in mind the bulk and weight of what you will be hauling and the terrain you will be crossing.
Keep the load balanced and secured. Always distribute the load evenly so your DR POWERWAGON will be as stable as possible.
Do not pile material too high. Divide your load and make several lighter trips. Do not pile heavy loads, such as rocks or
gravel, to a height that will make the DR POWERWAGON top-heavy and susceptible to tipping over. st
Be careful going downhill and applying the brake. Shift into 1 gear before going down a slope. Squeeze the brake very slowly to avoid dumping the load.
Slopes and Uneven Terrain
When operating over uneven terrain and slopes, use extreme caution to ensure solid and firm footing. Move slowly if the ground is rough, especially with a full load. Use 1st gear on slopes. Never operate on slopes greater than 15°.
Never operate the DR POWERWAGON on slopes greater than 15 degrees
(Figure 34). This is for safety and proper Engine operation. Doing so could deprive the Engine of oil and cause it to overheat resulting in component
damage.
USE CAUTION: The DR POWERWAGON may become unstable when
moving over ruts, bumps, and other depressions.
When going down a slope, shift into 1 st gear before starting down. Never shift in the middle of a slope. Find as level a spot as possible and set the parking brake before shifting.
On a slope, a heavy load will tend to shift. When using your DR
POWERWAGON, keep in mind that loads tend to shift to the downhill side of the body. Secure your load in the Bed to limit the shifting of the load on slopes. The higher and heavier the load, the greater the chance of tipping over the DR POWERWAGON. Travel up and down slopes. Avoid going across slopes.
Again, be especially careful with full loads. A good rule of thumb: the steeper the hill, the lighter and lower your load should be.
When going downhill, keep a firm grip on the Handlebars and push down slightly. Do not apply the Parking Brake abruptly when going downhill with a heavy load or the DR POWERWAGON may pitch forward onto its front end.

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.

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.

Chapter 4: Maintaining The DR POWERWAGON
Regular maintenance is the way to ensure the best performance and long life of your machine. Please refer to this manual and the engine manufacturer's owner's manual for maintenance procedures. Service intervals listed in the checklist below supersede those listed in the engine manufacturer's owner's manual.
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.

Battery Care (For Electric-Starting models)
Proper care can extend the life of a Battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure your Battery’s best performance and long life:
Do not allow the Battery charge to get too low. If the machine is not used, charge the Battery every 4 – 6 weeks. Operate the
Engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper Battery charge.
Store an unused Battery in a dry area that does not freeze.
Do not charge an already charged Battery. In theory, you cannot overcharge our Battery with a trickle charger; however, when a
Battery is fully charged and the charger is still on, it generates heat that could be harmful to the Battery. A fully charged Battery will read 12V-13.2V with a voltmeter.
Do not continue to crank the Engine when the Battery charge is low.
Under normal work conditions, the Battery will not need special attention with the addition of the Electric Dump System. If you are operating for extended periods with frequent dumps, it might be best to leave the Engine running during stand still periods to maintain proper charge levels.
Charging the Battery
Operate the engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper battery charge. If the battery loses its charge, you will need to use a trickle charger (like the DR Battery Charger) to recharge it. The charger should have an output of 12 volts at no more than 2 amps.
At 1 amp, the Battery may need charging for as long as 48 hours.
At 2 amps, the Battery may need charging for as long as 24 hours.
Note:
Using the Recoil Starter and then running the Engine will not recharge a dead or significantly discharged Battery.

The 2-Year Limited Warranty on the DR
POWERWAGON starts on the date the machine ships from our factory. The
2-Year Limited Warranty is applicable only to the original owner.
The warranty holder is responsible for the performance of the required maintenance as defined by the manufacturer's owner's manuals. The warranty holder is responsible for replacement of normally wearing parts such as the Drive
Belts, Battery, Brake Pads, Filters, and Spark Plug. Accessories to the machine are not covered by this warranty.

Daily Checklist for the DR POWERWAGON
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.
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
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.
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.
