5

While using the DR POWERWAGON 5.0, don't 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.

Use caution when moving downhill and braking. Apply the parking brake slowly to avoid tipping forward.

Do not overload the DR POWERWAGON 5.0.

Be careful of top-heavy loads. The higher the load, the more chance the machine may tip over. Also, loads may shift during operation; so to be safe, secure your loads and even them out when possible.

The maximum load is 500 lbs. on level terrain.

When shifting to reverse, be careful to avoid tipping as the swivel wheel changes direction.

Do not rev the engine. Excessive speed or tampering with the governor can be dangerous. Operate the machine in the lowest gear that is satisfactory to do the job.

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 5.0 at a moment's notice.

Never allow people who have not read these instructions to use the DR

POWERWAGON 5.0.

Do not operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol or medication.

Watch for traffic when operating near roadways.

WARNING!

The items listed in this section will help you keep your DR

POWERWAGON 5.0 running smoothly and, most importantly, prevent injury to yourself or others. Please review them carefully before starting your machine.

Do not run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation.

Store all fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.

Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off. Don't handle gasoline if you or anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near anything that could cause it to ignite or explode.

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 in any enclosure. Never store the machine near an open flame or spark with gas in the tank.

Do not change the engine governor settings or modify the engine speed.
