Safety & Operating Instructions
Stopping
WARNING! Be careful when transporting heavy loads with your DR
Powerwolf. If the foot pedal control is released suddenly, the load may shift
and the wagon may start to tip forward. Release the foot pedal control
slowly and do not overload the wagon.
1. Ease back on the foot pedal control until the DR Powerwolf comes to a
complete stop.
2. Set the parking brake by pulling back on the parking brake lever on the right
side of the console.
3. Turn the key to the OFF position and remove it for safety.
Important! If you rise off the driver’s seat without first setting the parking
brake, the Operator Presence Control system will shut off the engine. After
the machine stops, follow the starting instructions on page 10.
Operating Tips
§ Avoid abrupt start-ups. Always depress the foot pedal control slowly to avoid
bucking, or tipping the DR Powerwolf .
§ When using reverse, check to be sure there are no obstacles behind you. Practice
backing up in an open area with no load in the DR Powerwolf .
Loading
WARNING! Recommended maximum load limit, including driver, for
the DR Powerwolf is 1000 lbs. on level ground and 700 lbs. on slopes (not to
exceed 20 degrees). Overloading may be dangerous to the operator, and can
permanently damage the unit.
§ When loading your DR Powerwolf keep in mind the bulk and weight of what you
will be hauling, and the type of terrain you will be crossing.
§ Keep the load balanced and secured. Always distribute the load evenly so your DR
Powerwolf will be as stable as possible.
§ Don't pile material too high. Divide your load and make several lighter trips. Do
not pile heavy loads, such as rocks or gravel, to a height that will make the DR
Powerwolf top-heavy and susceptible to tipping over.
§ Guard against the load shifting toward the operator when climbing a slope.
§ Do not pile the load high enough to obscure the operator's view in front of the DR
Powerwolf.
