Safety & Operating Instructions 6

Operating Tips

When the throttle is not engaged the machine will act like it's in neutral—it will freewheel—even if

it's in gear. Always have the throttle engaged or the brake on for control.

You can leave the machine in gear while idling, but always use the parking brake and never leave

the machine unattended while running.

If you're making frequent stops to load and unload it is better to leave the DR

POWERWAGON

™

running (on idle with the parking brake on) than to start and stop repeatedly. Frequent starting

and stopping will reduce the life of the battery. Running the DR

POWERWAGON

™

recharges

the battery. See page 10 for more battery care information.

Uneven Terrain & Slopes

Exercise caution when using the DR

POWERWAGON

™

on uneven terrain or slopes.

A good rule of thumb: the steeper the hill, the

lighter and lower your load should be.

Limit loads to less than 300 pounds on

slopes.

Use a first gear and move slowly if the ground

is rough, especially with a full load. Be

sure you're in low gear before

starting

down a slope. Shifting mid-slope can be

awkward.

We do not recommend using the DR

POWERWAGON

™

for continuous use on

a slope greater than 20 degrees. Doing so

may deprive the engine of oil and damage

the engine components.

For added traction when going uphill, lift up on the handlebars slightly to transfer weight to the front

wheels and improve traction. When going downhill, keep a firm grip on the handlebars and push

down slightly.

Do not apply the brake abruptly when going down hill with a heavy load or the DR

POWERWAGON

™

may pitch forward on its front end.

We recommend going straight up and down slopes, instead of across them, whenever possible. If

you do maneuver across a slope use EXTREME CAUTION as this puts additional pressure on

the downhill side of the machine. The higher and heavier the load, the greater the chance the

POWERWAGON

™

may tip over. Limit side hill loads to less than 300 pounds.

Be careful with partial loads. Material can shift within the body and tip the machine.
