Operating Tips
•
AVOID ABRUPT START-UPS. ALWAYS SQUEEZE THE THROTTLE SLOWLY TO AVOID BUCKING, OR
TIPPING THE DR POWERWAGON-PRO.
•
WHEN USING REVERSE, CHECK TO SEE THAT THERE ARE NO OBSTACLES BEHIND YOU. PRACTICE
BACKING UP IN AN OPEN AREA WITH NO LOAD IN THE DR POWERWAGON-PRO.
Loading
THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM LOAD LIMIT FOR THE DR POWERWAGON-PRO IS 800 LBS. NEVER
OPERATE ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 20°. PLACING MORE WEIGHT IN THE BED MAY BE DANGEROUS
TO THE OPERATOR, AND CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE UNIT.
•
When loading your DR POWERWAGON-PRO keep in mind the bulk and weight of what you will be
hauling, and the terrain you will be crossing.
•
Keep the load balanced and secured. Always distribute the load evenly so your DR POWERWAGON-PRO
will be as stable as possible.
•
Do not pile material too high. Divide your load and make several lighter trips. Do not pile heavy loads,
such as rocks or gravel, to a height that will make the DR POWERWAGON-PRO top-heavy and
susceptible to tipping over.
• Be careful going downhill and applying the brake. Squeeze the brake very slowly to avoid dumping the
load.
BE CAREFUL WHEN TRANSPORTING HEAVY LOADS WITH YOUR DR POWERWAGON-PRO. IF THE
PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED SUDDENLY, THE LOAD MAY SHIFT AND THE WAGON MAY START TO TIP
FORWARD. BRAKE SLOWLY AND TRY TO AVOID OVERLOADING THE WAGON.
IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, RELEASING THE OPERATOR PRESENCE LEVER WILL STOP THE
MACHINE. AFTER THE MACHINE STOPS, FOLLOW STEPS 2 THROUGH 4 ABOVE.
