• Do not rev the engine. Excessive speed or tampering with the engine governor can be
dangerous.
• Keep your hands away from the belts and pulleys when the engine is running.
• Be particularly careful of small children and pets. Never allow children to operate the
vehicle. Never carry children, adults or pets in the wagon bed. Use caution when
operating the vehicle around other people or animals.
• Do not operate the vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Safety with Gasoline- Powered Machines
• Do not run the machine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation.
• Store all fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. Plastic containers are
more likely to prevent sediment and condensation problems.
• Fill the gas tank outdoors with the engine off. Don’t handle gasoline if you or anyone
nearby is smoking, or if you are near a fire, sparks, or anything that could cause gasoline
vapors to ignite or explode.
• If gasoline is spilled, 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 gasoline vapors
have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard, and properly dispose
of the waste.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. Never store the machine near
an open flame or sparks.
• Some state and local regulations require the use of a spark arrester on gasoline powered
engines. Contact your local fire marshal or forest service for specific information in your
area. If you are required to use a spark arrester, please contact one of our Customer
Service Representatives 1-800 DR-OWNER (376-9637) who will assist you in obtaining
one.
Special Note for California and Washington State Owners
• California and Washington states require the use of spark arresters on internal
combustion engines. Failure of the owner/ operator to maintain this equipment in
compliance with state regulations is a misdemeanor under California law and may be in
violation of other state and federal regulations. Contact your local fire marshal or forest
service for specific information in your area.
