As you begin to use your Wrangler during your daily activities, you will encounter situations that may require some practice. Simply take your time as you operate your Wrangler and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.

DOORS

νDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.

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

νDrive your Wrangler slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Wrangler slowly backwards as you pull the door open.

ELEVATORS

Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).

νIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the PMV to reopen the door.

νUse care that pocketbooks, packages, or Wrangler accessories do not become caught in the elevator doors.

RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require you to have good cornering skills on your Wrangler.

νTake 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, bump into, or get hung up on any railing corners.

νWhen driving down a ramp, keep your Wrangler’s speed adjustment dial (see V. “Description”) set to the tortoise (slowest speed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.

νAvoid sudden stops and starts.

Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for PMVs. Figure 1 illustrates yourWrangler’s stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
