II. SAFETY
FIGURE 3. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITIONFIGURE 2. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION
The controlled tests show that, when you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 3. This
shifts the center of gravity of you and your Wrangler toward the front of the PMV for improved stability.
Your Wrangler was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions; dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will operate your
PMV on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason, we also designed your Wrangler to perform
admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
n Feel free to use your Wrangler safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Avoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.
n Packed soil, gravel, driveways, or roads will not present a problem for your Wrangler.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch before getting on
or off of your Wrangler.
n Make sure that you set the 5-10 mph switch to 5 and the speed adjustment dial to the tortoise setting when
you begin using your Wrangler.
n Ensure the seat is in a locked position when you are operating your Wrangler.
n If your PMV is equipped with a reclining seat, do not operate the vehicle with the seat
in the reclined position.
n Do not operate your Wrangler while you are under the influence of alcohol.
n Check with your physician if you are taking any medication(s) that may affect your ability to operate your
Wrangler.
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented
in this manual.
