8 Wrangler
II. SAFETY
n Do not exceed the specifications in this manual.
n Do not carry passengers on your Wrangler under any circumstances.
n Never drive your Wrangler across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill; do not stop, if possible,
while driving up or down an incline.
n Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your Wrangler. This
recommended driving position gives you the most control over your vehicle.
n Use extreme caution when driving on busy streets, in parking lots, or in shopping malls.
n Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or unprotected ledges or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
n Drive slowly through turns.
n Make certain that the tires are properly inflated (14 psi).
n Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery; this damages the
battery and may cause personal injury.
n Never use your Wrangler as a seat in a moving vehicle. Your Wrangler is not designed to be used as such and
cannot protect you in the event of an automobile accident or an abrupt stop.
n Secure the batteries before loading your Wrangler into another vehicle for transport.
n Disconnect the batteries if you are not going to operate your Wrangler for more than 48 hours. Do not carry
passengers on your Wrangler.
n Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow,
mist or washing the Wrangler). Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never at-
tempt to ride a Wrangler that has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
WARNING! Do not operate or store the Wrangler where it may be exposed to inclement
weather conditions such as rain, snow, mist and below-freezing temperatures
(such as storage on an outside car/van lift). Attempting to operate the Wrangler in such
conditions can damage the electronics and potentially result in loss of control.
WARNING! Do not operate a Wrangler in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces
(i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury,
or adversely affect the performance and/or safety of your Wrangler .
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a fro-
zen battery. This damages the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to
charge a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
