Chapter 4: Operating Your DR POWERWAGON 5.0
This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping your new DR
POWERWAGON 5.0 and discusses basic operation features.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Check the oil level every time you use the
machine. (See Figure 2 on page 9)
2. Check the gas level. (Figure 2)
3. Check the tires for proper inflation.
4. Make sure the dump latch is secured.
5. Set the parking brake by squeezing the brake
lever (Figure 5) on the right handle bar 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 5.0 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, press the Primer Bulb
three times. (Figure 7) In cold weather, you
may need to press 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.
