Safety & Operating Instructions 5
§ Use extra caution when operating in wet or slippery conditions.
§ While using the DR Powerwolf, don't hurry or take things for granted. When in doubt
about the equipment or your surroundings, stop the machine and take the time to look
things over. Make sure that you have 100% control of the machine at all times.
§ Be sure to keep pedestrians on the uphill side when moving up or down slopes.
§ Do not engage the parking brake while the machine is in motion.
§ Be sure to use the parking brake when stopped.
§ DO NOT OVERLOAD the DR Powerwolf.
Be careful of top-heavy loads. The
higher the load, the more chance the machine may tip over. Also, loads may shift
during operation; so to be safe, secure loads and even them out when possible. The
maximum load is 1000 lbs. on hard level terrain and 700 lbs. on slopes (not to exceed
20 degrees). Weights include driver.
§ Do not rev the engine. Excessive speed or tampering with the governor can be
dangerous. Operate the machine at the lowest speed that is satisfactory to do the job.
§ Never allow people who have not read these instructions to use the DR Powerwolf.
§ Do not operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol or medication.
§ Do not operate the machine when feeling dizzy or faint for any reason.
§ Watch for traffic when operating near roadways.
§ Remove the key when not in use to prevent unauthorized use.
§ Whenever possible, travel up and down slopes and avoid going across slopes.
§ Distribute weight evenly when loading bed.
Safety with Gasoline-Powered Machines
WARNING! The items listed in this section will help you keep your
DR Powerwolf running smoothly and, most importantly, prevent injury to
yourself or others. Please review them carefully before starting your
machine.
§ Do not run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation.
§ Store all fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
§ Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off. Don't handle gasoline if you or
anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near anything that could cause it to ignite or
explode.
§ If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away from
the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the gas vapors have
dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of
the waste.
§ Allow the engine to cool completely before storing the machine in any enclosure.
Never store the machine near an open flame or spark with gas in the tank.
§ Do not change the engine governor settings or modify the engine speed.
