II. SAFETY

As you begin to use your Wrangler during your daily activities, you will encounter situations that may require some

ractice. Sim ly take your time as you o erate your Wrangler and you will soon be in full and confident control as

you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, u and down ram s, and over moderate terrain.

DOORS

nDetermine if the door o ens toward or away from you.

nUse your hand to turn the knob or ush the handle or ush-bar.

nDrive your Wrangler slowly forward to ush the door o en; or drive your Wrangler slowly backwards as you

ull the door o en.

ELEVATORS

Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when ushed, reo ens the elevator door(s).

nIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, ush on the rubber door edge or

allow the rubber door edge to contact the PMV to reo en the door.

nUse care that ocketbooks, ackages, or Wrangler accessories do not become caught in the elevator doors.

RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES

More and more buildings have ram s with s ecified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access.

Some ram s may have turning switchbacks that require you to have good cornering skills on your Wrangler.

nTake slow, wide swings with your PMVs front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the rear wheels

will follow a wide arc and will not cut the corner short, bum into, or get hung u on any railing corners.

nWhen driving down a ram , kee your Wranglers s eed adjustment dial (see V. Descri tion) set to the

tortoise (slowest s eed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.

nAvoid sudden sto s and starts.

Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed s ecifically for PMVs. Figure 1 illustrates your Wranglers

stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.

FIGURE 1. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE ANGLE

Wrangler

II. SAFETY

FIGURE 3. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITIONFIGURE 2. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION

The controlled tests show that, when you a roach 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 im roved stability.

Your Wrangler was designed to rovide o timum stability under normal driving conditions; dry, level surfaces

com osed of concrete or as halt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will o erate your

PMV on surfaces other than concrete or as halt. For that reason, we also designed your Wrangler to erform

admirably on acked soil, grass, and gravel.

nFeel free to use your Wrangler safely on lawns and in ark areas.

nAvoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.

nPacked soil, gravel, driveways, or roads will not resent a roblem for your Wrangler.

nAvoid loosely acked gravel and sand.

nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

nMake certain that the seat is locked into lace and the key is removed from the key switch before getting on

or off of your Wrangler.

nMake sure that you set the 5-10 m h switch to 5 and the s eed adjustment dial to the tortoise setting when

you begin using your Wrangler.

nEnsure the seat is in a locked osition when you are o erating your Wrangler.

nIf your PMV is equi ed with a reclining seat, do not o erate the vehicle with the seat

in the reclined osition.

nDo not o erate your Wrangler while you are under the influence of alcohol.

nCheck with your hysician if you are taking any medication(s) that may affect your ability to o erate your

Wrangler.

WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented

in this manual.

II. SAFETY

nDo not exceed the s ecifications in this manual.

nDo not carry assengers on your Wrangler under any circumstances.

nNever drive your Wrangler across the side of a hill or diagonally u or down a hill; do not sto , if ossible,

while driving u or down an incline.

nKee both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while o erating your Wrangler. This

recommended driving osition gives you the most control over your vehicle.

nUse extreme caution when driving on busy streets, in arking lots, or in sho ing malls.

nProceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or un rotected ledges or dro -offs (kerbs,

orches, stairs, etc.).

nDrive slowly through turns.

nMake certain that the tires are ro erly inflated (14 si).

nAlways rotect batteries from freezing tem eratures and never charge a frozen battery; this damages the

battery and may cause ersonal injury.

nNever use your Wrangler as a seat in a moving vehicle. Your Wrangler is not designed to be used as such and

cannot rotect you in the event of an automobile accident or an abru t sto .

nSecure the batteries before loading your Wrangler into another vehicle for trans ort.

nDisconnect the batteries if you are not going to o erate your Wrangler for more than 48 hours. Do not carry

assengers on your Wrangler.

nBattery osts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead com ounds. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (rain, sno ,

mist or ashing 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 here it may be exposed to inclement

eather conditions such as rain, sno , mist and belo -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., alks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury,

or adversely affect the performance and/or safety of your Wrangler .

WARNING! Al ays 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.

EMI/RFI WARNINGS

Laboratory tests erformed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause

unintended motion of electric PMVs. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When electromag-

netic energy adversely affects the o eration of an electrical device, that adverse effect is called Electromagnetic

Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

EMI/RFI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the risk

that EMI/RFI will adversely affect your Wrangler.

Where do radio waves come from?

Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular hones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies and

CBs), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless com uter links, microwave sources,

and aging transmitters. Radio waves are a form of EM. Because EM is more intense closer to transmitting

antennas (sources of emission), the EM fields from two-way radios are of s ecial concern to electric PMV users.

If EMI/R I affects my Wrangler, what kind of motion should I expect?

This is difficult to redict. The answer would de end on a number of factors:

nThe strength of the radio waves.

nThe construction of your articular Wrangler.

nThe location of your Wrangler (whether it is on level ground or on an incline).

nWhether or not your Wrangler is in motion.

The motion of any electric PMV affected by EMI/RFI can be erratic. The PMV may come to a sudden sto or

move in an uncontrolled manner. Also, it is ossible for EMI/RFI to release the brakes of an electric PMV. Some

intense EMI/RFI can even damage the control system com onents of an electric PMV.

Is there any way to know for certain whether or not radio waves are the cause of any unintended motion

of my Wrangler?

Unfortunately, EMI/RFI may be difficult to recognize, since the signals from radio sources are invisible and may be

intermittent. However, the FDA recommends that you re ort all incidents of unintended motion or unintended

brake release of your electric PMV to the PMVs manufacturer and, if ossible, determine whether or not there

was a radio wave source nearby at the time of the incident.

One recaution you can take against inadvertent motion of your Wrangler is to make certain that you or someone

else is not the cause of the unintended motion.

nTurn off your Wrangler by removing the key from the key switch when you are getting on or off of your

Wrangler.

nNever leave the key in the key switch of an unattended Wrangler.

By following these ste s, you greatly reduce the risk of you or anyone else inadvertently bum ing the throttle

control levers and causing the Wrangler to move unintentionally.

Has anyone been injured by the erratic, unintended motion of an electric PMV?

The FDA has re orts of injuries that resulted from uncontrolled motion of electric PMVs, but it is not clear just how

many of those injuries were actually caused by EMI/RFI.

III. EMI/RFI

10 Wrangler

Are all PMVs susceptible to EMI/R I?

Each make and model of electric PMV differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. That is, each PMV has a articular

level of resistance to EMI/RFI. This resistance is measured in volts er meter (V/m). A higher resistance level offers

greater rotection against EMI/RFI. In other words, an electric PMV with a high resistance level is less likely to be

affected by a strong radio source than is an electric PMV with a low resistance level.

What is the DA doing about the problem?

The FDA has written to electric PMVs manufacturers and requested that those manufacturers test their new

models of PMVs to be certain that they rovide a reasonable degree of resistance against EMI/RFI. The FDA has

stated that all newly manufactured models of electric PMVs should have a resistance level of at least 20 V/m. This

resistance level rovides a reasonable degree of rotection against the common sources of EMI/RFI.

The DA has also requested or recommended that:

nElectric PMV manufacturers clearly label new roducts with that roducts resistance level or state that the

resistance level is not known.

nThe labeling or informational material su lied with new electric PMVs must ex lain what the resistance level

means and warn users about the ossibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.

nElectric PMV manufacturers undertake an educational rogram to inform electrical PMV users and their

caregivers about the roblems associated with EMI/RFI and about the actions they can take to minimize the

risk of EMI/RFI.

nWhile there is no exact way to tell if your PMV is totally safe, an immunity level of 20 V/m (May 1994) is

generally achievable and useful. Adding accessories and com onents or modifying the unit may change the

susce tibility to EMI/RFI.

What can I do to find out if my Wrangler is likely to be affected by EMI/R I?

If you have had your Wrangler for some time and have not ex erienced any unintended motion, it is not likely that

you will have a roblem in the future. However, it is always ossible that EMI roblems could arise if you are close

to a source of radio waves. Therefore, it is very im ortant for you to be alert to this ossibility. The Wrangler PMV

meets or exceeds a resistance level of at least 20 V/m.

What can I do to reduce the risk of my Wrangler being affected by EMI/R I?

Some recautions are:

nDo not turn on or use hand-held ersonal communications devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and

cellular hones, while your Wrangler is turned on.

nBe aware of nearby radio wave transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way

radios. Try not to o erate your Wrangler too close to those transmitters. For exam le, if you are on an electric

PMV with a resistance level of at least 20 V/m, you should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-way

radio and at least ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.

nBe aware that adding accessories and/or com onents, or modifying your Wrangler in any way, may change its

EMI/RFI resistance level and may make it more susce tible to interference from radio wave sources.

What should I do if my Wrangler moves unexpectedly?

If unintended motion or unintended brake release occurs, turn off your Wrangler (by removing the key) as soon as

it is safe to do so.

If my Wrangler moves unintentionally, where should I report the incident?

Call our headquarters at 1-800-424-8205 to re ort the incident.
