CHAPTER 4
OPERATING YOUR DR POWERWAGON-PREMIER
This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping your new DR POWERWAGON-PREMIER
and discusses basic operation features.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Check the oil level every time you use the machine
(Figure 2 on page 11).
2. Check the gas level (Figure 2 on page 11).
3. Check the tires for proper inflation.
4. Make sure to secure the Dump Latch.
5. Set the Parking Brake by squeezing the Brake Lever
(Figure 5) on the right Handlebar and lift up on
the Parking Brake Lock (Figure 5), locking the lever
in place. To release the Parking Brake, just
squeeze the Parking Brake Lever again.
NOTE: The DR POWERWAGON-PREMIER is equipped
with an Operator Presence Control for added
safety. The Operator Presence Lever must be
depressed whenever the Shift Lever is in gear, or the
engine will stop
. You may run the engine without
depressing the Operator Presence Lever (Figure 4)
only if the Shift Lever is in the "N" (Neutral)
position (Figure 6).
Electric Starting
1. Move the Shift Lever to the "N" (Neutral) position
(Figure 6).
2. Move the Throttle to the RUN position.
3. If the engine is cold, depress the Primer Bulb three
(3) times (Figure 7 on page 14). In cold weather, you
may need to depress additional times, being sure that
the Bulb inflates between pumps.
4. Turn the Key to the START position (Figure 6). As
soon as the engine starts, release the Key, and it will
return to the RUN position.
5. Move the Throttle to the desired Engine speed.
NOTE: See your Engine Owner's Manual for
information on cold weather starting.
