on page 13).

Operating Tips

• AVOID ABRUPT START-UPS. ALWAYS SQUEEZE THE THROTTLE SLOWLY TO AVOID BUCKING, OR

TIPPING THE DR POWERWAGON-PRO.

• WHEN USING REVERSE, CHECK TO SEE THAT THERE ARE NO OBSTACLES BEHIND YOU. PRACTICE

BACKING UP IN AN OPEN AREA WITH NO LOAD IN THE DR POWERWAGON-PRO.

THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM LOAD LIMIT FOR THE DR POWERWAGON-PRO IS 800 LBS. NEVER OPERATE ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 20°. PLACING MORE WEIGHT IN THE BED MAY BE DANGEROUS

TO THE OPERATOR, AND CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE UNIT.

• When loading your DR POWERWAGON-PRO 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-PRO

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-PRO top-heavy and susceptible to tipping over.

• Be careful going downhill and applying the brake. Squeeze the brake very slowly to avoid dumping the

load.

CALL TOLL-FREE 1-800-DR-OWNER 15

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 1 THAN 20°.

Figure 8

GEAR ON SLOPES WITH A MAXIMUM LOAD OF 800 LBS. NEVER OPERATE ON SLOPES GREATER

• Never operate the DR POWERWAGON-PRO on slopes

greater than 20 degrees (Figure 8). 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-PRO may

become unstable when moving over ruts, bumps, and other depressions.

• On a slope, a heavy load will tend to shift. When using

your DR POWERWAGON-PRO, 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

20° Max

slopes. The higher and heavier the load, the greater the chance of tipping over the DR POWERWAGON-PRO. Travel up and down slopes (Figure 8), and 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-PRO may pitch forward onto its front end.

16 DR

POWERWAGON-PRO

Dumping - Manually

NOTE: For safety reasons, the DR POWERWAGON-PRO Bed

is designed NOT to dump automatically once you release the Dump Lever. You must pull the Dump Handle back then lift the back of the Bed to cause it to tip forward.

1. Remove the Front Panel.

2. Stand at the rear of the Bed.

3. Pull the Handle on the Dump Lever (Figure 9), and

then pull up on the rear of the Bed to dump the load (Figure 10).

4. 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-PRO 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 - Optional

The Electric Dump System brings new conveniences to the function of your DR POWERWAGON-PRO. We have included some operating hints and precautions. Please review them carefully.

• EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF BED LOADS REMAINS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE OPERATION

OF THIS EQUIPMENT.

• CHANGING THE LOCATION AND/OR QUANTITY OF THE LOAD IN THE DUMP BED WILL AFFECT

THE HANDLING PROPERTIES OF THE MACHINE.

• ALWAYS SET THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN YOUR MACHINE IS STOPPED. BE ALERT TO CHILDREN

AND ADULTS IN THE AREA WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING THE MACHINE.

Operating the Electric Dump

1. Set the Parking Brake.

2. Remove the Front Panel.

3. Hold Power Dump Switch in the upper position, RAISE BED (DUMP) to raise the Bed (Figure 31).

4. Hold Power Dump Switch down in the lower position, LOWER BED to lower the Bed.

RAISE BED (DUMP)

LOWER BED

Figure 31

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

Battery Care (For Electric-Starting models only)

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.

To connect a battery charger to your DR POWERWAGON-PRO, follow the steps listed below.

1. Detach the two (2) Battery cables going to the Battery on your machine.

2. Attach the red (+) Battery Charger Wire to the red (+) Battery tab, and the black (-) Battery Charger

Wire to the black (-) Battery tab.

3. Plug the Battery Charger into an outlet.

NOTE:

WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED CHARGING THE BATTERY, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CHARGER WIRES FROM THE OUTLET FIRST THE BATTERY CHARGER WIRES ARE LEFT CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE ITSELF BACK INTO THE CHARGER.

We have modified the Battery Wire Clips and Extension Tabs to accommodate different wiring

connections. If you need to adapt your Charger to your equipment, please call one of our Technical Support Representatives for more information.

, THEN DISCONNECT THE CHARGER FROM THE BATTERY TERMINALS. IF

End of Season and Storage

NOTE: Please refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for Engine-specific procedures.

• Change the oil; this will help to eliminate sludge and acids in the Engine. For winter use, use SAE 5W

– 30W.

• If your DR POWERWAGON-PRO 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, Parking

Brake Lever, and Key Switch 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-PRO 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 20.

Daily Checklist for the DR POWERWAGON-PRO

To help maintain your DR 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, proper alignment and tension.

[ ]

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.
