DO NOT OVERLOAD THE DR® POWERWAGON! Loads should be less than 400 pounds on

the level and 300 pounds on slopes. Be careful of top heavy loads—especially in the back corners of the molded body. The higher the load, the more chance the machine may tip. Also, loads may shift during operation, so even out loads when possible to be safe.

When shifting to reverse, be careful of tipping as the caster wheel changes direction.

Don't rev the engine. Excessive speed or tampering with the governor can be dangerous. Operate the engine at the slowest speed that is satisfactory for the task at hand.

While using the DR® POWERWAGON, don't hurry or take 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.

Built-in safety features are effective only when maintained and kept in place. DO NOT, under any conditions, remove, cut, bend, weld or change standard parts on the DR® POWERWAGON. A change made on your own can make the equipment unsafe and may void your warranty.

Some state and local regulations require the use of a spark arrester on gasoline powered engines. Contact your local fire marshal or forest service for specific information pertaining to your area. If you are required to use a spark arrester, please contact one of our Customer Service Representatives TOLL FREE 1(800)DR-OWNER(376-9637) for assistance in obtaining and installing one.

Warning to All California and Other Users

Under California law, and the laws of some other states, you are not permitted to operate an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels without an engine spark arrester. All DR® POWERWAGONS shipped to California and Washington state are provided with spark arresters. Failure of the owner/operator to maintain this equipment in compliance with state regulations is a misdemeanor under California law and may be in violation of other state and/or federal regulations.
