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
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.
assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

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.DRpow er.com 5
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.

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
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
Dipstick/Oil Fill
on Briggs & Stratton engines.
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
