Manual Recoil Starting

(Figure 6 on page 13).
2. Move the Throttle Lever to the RUN position.
3. If the engine is cold, depress the Primer Bulb three
(3) times (Figure 7). In cold weather, you may
need to depress additional times, being sure that
the Bulb inflates between pumps.
4. Turn the Key to the RUN position (Figure 6 on

5. Pull the Recoil Pull Handle slowly, until you feel
resistance; then pull the Handle with a rapid, full
arm stroke to overcome compression and start the
engine. Repeat if necessary.
6. After the engine starts, move the Throttle Lever
(Figure 6 on page 13) to the desired Engine speed.
NOTE: See your Engine Owner's Manual for information on cold weather starting.
Operating
The DR POWERWAGON-PREMIER has a four-speed forward transmission and single-speed reverse.
Use the lower gears for slower speeds, heavy loads, or more power and the higher gears for transport
over smooth terrain. Use 1
st gear with loads over 400 lbs. and on slopes. Never use your machine on
slopes greater than 20°.
1. With the Operator Presence Lever depressed (Figure 4 on page 13), move the Shift Lever to the
desired gear.
2. Squeeze the Wheel Clutch Lever on the left Handlebar slowly.
SQUEEZING THE WHEEL CLUTCH LEVER RAPIDLY WILL MAKE THE DR POWERWAGON-PREMIER "JUMP"
INTO MOTION. SQUEEZE THE CLUTCH LEVER SLOWLY AND EASE THE MACHINE INTO GEAR.
