OPERATING YOUR WRANGLER
After planning your route:
n Set the 5-10 mph switch to your desired maximum speed of 5 or 10 mph; then set the speed adjustment dial
to your desired speed. We recommend you initially set the 5-10 mph switch to 5 mph and the speed adjust-
ment dial to the tortoise (slowest speed setting).
n Insert the key into the key switch.
n With your hands on the handgrips, use your thumb to gently push the right throttle lever to disengage your
Wranglers brakes and move forward; the electric brake automatically disengages and the Wrangler acceler-
ates smoothly to the speed you set with the speed adjustment dial.
n Pull on the left handgrip to steer your Wrangler to the left.
Pull on the right handgrip to steer your Wrangler to the right.
n Move the tiller to the center position to drive straight ahead.
n Gently release the throttle lever to decelerate and come to a complete stop. The electric brake automatically
engages when your Wrangler comes to a stop.
n To move in reverse, use your thumb to gently push the left throttle lever to disengage your Wranglers brakes
and move rearward.
NOTE: Your Wranglers reverse speed is slower than the speed you set with the speed adjustment dial and
the 5-10 mph switch.
