INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

Exposure of your PMV to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your PMV, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your PMV before storing, charging, or operating your PMV.

WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions and on icy/slippery surfaces may have an adverse affect on the electrical system. Maintain and store your PMV in a dry and clean condition.

WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of upholstered and non-upholstered items on the PMV, possibly resulting in skin irritation. Exercise caution when using your PMV in extremely hot or cold conditions or when exposing your PMV to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

FREEWHEEL MODE

Your PMV is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, pushed forward, allows the PMV to be pushed. For more information about how to place your PMV into and out of freewheel mode, see III. “Your PMV.”

WARNING! When your PMV is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged. Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.

Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.

Stand behind the PMV to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a PMV to do this.

After you have finished pushing your PMV, always return it to the drive mode to lock the brakes.

An added feature built into the PMV is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the PMV against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.

“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:

If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the PMV’s controller activates regenerative braking when the PMV is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.

If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any speed. This prevents the PMV from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever inadvertently be released while driving the PMV.

STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

PMVs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.

WARNING! Do not use your PMV to negotiate steps or escalators.

DOORS

Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.

Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.

Drive your PMV gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your PMV gently and slowly backwards to pull the door open.
