Manual Recoil Starting
NOTE: Manual recoil starting can be used for both Electric-
Starting and Manual-Starting models.
1. Move the Shift Lever to the "N" (Neutral) position
(Figure 6 on page 13).
2. Set the Choke Lever on the Engine to the CHOKE
position (to the RUN position if the Engine is already
warm, Figure 7).
3. Turn the Key to the START position (Figure 6 on page
13).
4. Pull the Recoil 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.
5. After the Engine starts, squeeze the Throttle Lever
(Figure 5 on page 13) to the desired speed.
See the Engine Owner's Manual for information on cold
weather starting.
Operating
ALWAYS RELEASE THE THROTTLE WHEN SHIFTING TO AVOID DAMAGING THE GEARS.
The DR POWERWAGON-PRO 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.
WHEN ENGAGING REVERSE, USE EXTRA CAUTION. CHECK YOUR PATH AND FOOTING BEFORE
ENGAGING THE CLUTCH.
1. With the Operator Presence Lever depressed (Figure 5 on page 13), move the Shift Lever to the
desired gear.
2. Squeeze the Throttle on the left Handlebar slowly until you reach your desired speed.
SQUEEZING THE THROTTLE FAST WILL MAKE THE DR POWERWAGON-PRO "JUMP" INTO MOTION.
SQUEEZE THE THROTTLE SLOWLY AND EASE THE MACHINE INTO GEAR.
