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.

νFeel free to use your Wrangler safely on lawns and in park areas.

νAvoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.

νPacked soil, gravel, driveways, or roads will not present a problem for your Wrangler.

νAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

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

WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

νMake 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.

νMake 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.

νEnsure the seat is in a locked position when you are operating your Wrangler.

νIf your PMV is equipped with a reclining seat, do not operate the vehicle with the seat in the reclined position.

νDo not operate your Wrangler while you are under the influence of alcohol.

νCheck with your physician if you are taking any medication(s) that may affect your ability to operate your Wrangler.
