Safety & Operating Instructions 13
• Again, be especially careful with full loads. A good rule of thumb: the steeper the hill, the lighter
and lower your load should be.
• When going downhill, keep a firm grip on the handlebars and push down slightly. Do not apply
the brake abruptly when going downhill with a heavy load or the DR
®
POWERWAGON
™
may
pitch forward onto its front end.
Dumping
Note: For safety reasons, the DR ® POWERWAGON ™ bed is designed NOT to dump automatically
once the dump lever is released. You must pull the dump handle back then lift the back of the bed to
cause it to tip forward.
1. Remove front panel.
2. Stand at the rear of the bed.
3. Pull the handle on the dump lever
(Figure 8), then pull up on the rear of
the bed to dump the load (Figure 9).
4. After unloading, push the bed back
down into place by hand. Be sure the
dump lever latches securely.
The bed of the DR
®
POWERWAGON
™
is
balanced so you can dump the load with
minimal effort. If you are carrying a very
heavy load, you may not be able to lift the
bed to dump it when you release the latch
lever. In this case, you will need to manually
remove part of the load from the back of the
bed, until the load is light enough to allow
the bed to tip forward when you lift up on
the back of it.
