Safety & Operating Instructions
Chapter 4: Operating Your DR Powerwolf
This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping your new DR Powerwolf and
discusses basic operation features.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Check the oil level every time you use the machine. (See Figure 2)
2. Check the gas level.
3. Check the tires for proper inflation.
4. Make sure the dump latch is secured. (Manual Dump Only)
5. Set the parking brake (Figure 3) on the right side of the console by pulling the bar
toward you. To release the parking brake, push the bar forward.
Note: The DR Powerwolf is equipped with an Operator Presence Control system for
added safety. In order for the engine to run, either the operator must be seated in
the driver’s seat or the parking braking must be on.
Starting
1. Sit in the driver's seat.
2. Make sure that the parking brake lever (Figure 3)
is engaged (vertical position).
Note: Either Step 1 or Step 2 is enough to
satisfy the Operator Presence Control
requirements. Doing both is recommended
when starting.
3. Set the throttle (Figure 3) to the CHOKE
position (to the RUN position if the engine is
already warm).
4. Turn the key to the START position. As
soon as the engine starts, release the key, and
let it return to the RUN position.
5. After the engine starts, move the throttle to
the RUN position.
See your engine owner's manual for information
on cold weather starting.
Important! At temperatures lower than
0º F, warm up the DR Powerwolf for 15
minutes before driving it. The warm up
period ensures that transmission oil will
flow properly.
