Safety & Operating Instructions 13
Slopes & Uneven Terrain
WARNING! When operating over uneven terrain and slopes, use
EXTREME CAUTION to ensure stability and preserve balance. Move
slowly if the ground is rough, especially with a full load. Do not exceed a
maximum load of 700 lbs. (including driver) on slopes.
§ Do not use the DR Powerwolf on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Doing so could
deprive the engine of oil and cause it to overheat resulting in component damage.
§ Use special caution on uneven terrain: the DR Powerwolf may become unstable when
moving over ruts, bumps, and other depressions.
§ Heavy loads tend to shift on slopes, so secure your load in the bed to limit shifting.
Keep in mind that loads tend to shift to the downhill side of the body.
§ The higher and heavier a load, the greater the chance that the DR Powerwolf could tip
over on a side hill.
§ Whenever possible, travel up and down slopes and avoid going across slopes.
§ Again, be especially careful with full loads. A good rule of thumb is that the steeper the
hill, the lighter and lower your load should be.
