Safety & Operating Instructions
• When shifting to reverse, be careful to avoid tipping as the swivel wheel changes direction.
• Do not rev the engine. Excessive speed or tampering with the governor can be dangerous.
Operate the engine at the slowest speed that is satisfactory to do the job.
• While using the DR ® POWERWAGON ™ , cultivate the habit of not hurrying or taking things for
granted. When in doubt about the equipment or surroundings, stop the machine and take time to
look things over. Make sure you have 100% control of the machine at all times.
• Keep your hands away from the belt and pulleys when the engine is running.
• Be particularly careful of small children and pets. Never allow children to operate the DR
®

caution when another person approaches.
• Give complete and undivided attention to the job at hand, and be sure you know how to engage
the brake and stop the DR ® POWERWAGON ™ at a moment's notice before you use your new
machine.
Safety with Gasoline-Powered Machines
• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation.
• Store all fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. Plastic containers are more
likely to prevent sediment and condensation problems.
• 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 a fire, sparks or anything that could cause the gasoline vapors
to ignite or explode.
• If gas is spilled, 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 in any enclosure. Never store the machine
near an open flame or sparks with gas in the tank.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or modify the engine speed.
