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.

8Wrangler
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.

Your Wrangler requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, dee -cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.
Recharge the batteries with the convenient onboard battery charger.
Two im ortant oints to remember are:
nCharge your Wranglers batteries with the su lied onboard battery charger rior to using it for the first time.
nKee your batteries fully charged to kee your Wrangler running smoothly.
NOTE: Use only the onboard battery charger supplied with your rangler.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the control console indicates the a roximate
strength of your batteries. (The meter reads 24 volts when your batteries are
fully charged.) To check the charge, you must first un lug the onboard battery
charger and insert the key into the key switch.
NOTE: To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should
be checked while operating your PMV at full speed on a level surface.
You can also use the ammeter to check your batteries charge. The ammeter is
located on the utility tray under the rear shroud. See figure 8. The am erage
reading should be at or near zero (0) when the batteries are fully charged. The
battery charger must be lugged into a wall outlet to obtain a ammeter reading.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
The charger ower cord lugs into a standard wall outlet to charge the batteries.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO SAFELY CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES
1. Position your Wrangler close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Ensure the freewheel lever is in the u (drive) osition.
4. Extend the charger ower cord (see figure 7A) and lug it into the wall outlet. We recommend you charge your
Wranglers batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, (indicated by the ammeter reading 0) un lug the onboard charger ower
cord from the wall outlet.
There are two LED indicators (red and green) on the front of the battery charger.
nWhen lit, the red LED indicates that the batteries are being charged.
nA green and red LED lit simultaneously indicates charging is nearly com lete.
nWhen lit, the green LED indicates the batteries are fully charged.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your rangler. Your PMV does not run and the battery condition
meter does not operate while the batteries are charging.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Wranglers battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to the
batteries to bring u their charge. As the voltage of the batteries a roaches a full charge, the charger sends less
electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them from the charger is
at nearly zero am erage. Therefore, when the charger is lugged in, it maintains the charge on your Wranglers
batteries but does not overcharge them. Even though the charging maintenance feature is built into your Wranglers
onboard charger, we do not recommend that you charge your Wranglers batteries for more than 24 consecutive
hours.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your Wranglers batteries, you should simultaneously
charge both batteries using only the manufacturer-su lied onboard battery charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Wranglers batteries: all day PMV
use on a daily basis, and infrequent PMV use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine just how often and for how long you should charge your
Wranglers batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it does not overcharge your PMVs batteries;
however, you may encounter some roblems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not
charge them on a regular basis. Following the five guidelines below rovides safe and reliable battery o eration and
charging.
nIf you use your Wrangler daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your PMV will be
ready each morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend you charge your Wranglers batteries
for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
nIf you use your Wrangler once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at
a time.
nKee your Wranglers batteries fully charged.
nAvoid dee ly discharging your Wranglers batteries.
nDo not charge your Wranglers batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditionssmooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. You will
often face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely acked surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these driving
conditions affect the distance or running time er battery charge. The following are a few suggestions for obtaining
the maximum range er battery charge.
nAlways fully charge your Wranglers batteries rior to your daily use.
nMaintain 14 si ( ounds er square inch) in all of your Wranglers tires.
nPlan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as ossible.
nLimit your baggage weight to essential items.
nTry to maintain an even s eed while your Wrangler is in motion.
nAvoid sto -and-go driving.

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend dee -cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel
cell are dee -cycle batteries that are similar in erformance in your Wrangler. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which
have removable ca s.
CAUTION! Do not remove the caps from sealed batteries. Water cannot be added to sealed
batteries. Cap removal voids the battery arranty and may cause damage to the batteries
and to your Wrangler.
Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries:
Ty e: Dee -cycle (sealed lead-acid or gel cell)
Size: Grou 27
Voltage: 12 volts each
Am erage: 100 AH (am hours)
What if my Wrangler doesnt arrive with batteries?
If your Wrangler does not come with batteries already installed from Pride, you have chosen to urchase the
batteries se arately. Carefully follow the instructions below for ro er wire lacement and battery installation.
To place the batteries in your Wrangler:
1. Remove the seat and rear shroud from the
Wrangler.
2. Place the batteries into the battery wells. Be
sure that the ositive (+) terminal of the left
side battery and the negative (-) terminal of
the right side battery are facing forward. See
figure 9.
3. Connect the main circuit breaker to the front
battery terminals.
4. Connect the rear black cable to the negative
(-) battery terminal.
5. Connect the rear red cable to the ositive
(+) battery terminal.
6. Fasten the battery tie-down stra s.
7 Reinstall the rear shroud and seat.
To remove the batteries:
1. Remove the seat and rear shroud.
2. Disconnect all the cables from the battery ter-
minals.
3. Unfasten the battery tie-down stra s.
4. Remove the batteries.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash hands after handling.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Dee -cycle batteries em loy a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium bat-
teries (nicads), or in other common battery ty es. Dee -cycle batteries are s ecifically designed to rovide ower,
drain down their charge, and then acce t a relatively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to rovide batteries that best suit your Wranglers s ecific electri-
cal demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and are shi ed fully charged to our customers. During shi ing,
the batteries may encounter tem erature extremes that may influence their initial erformance. Heat diminishes the
charge on the battery; cold slows the available ower and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
It may take a few days for the tem erature of your Wranglers batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or
ambient tem erature.
More im ortantly, it takes a few charging cycles (a artial drain followed by a full recharge) to establish the critical
chemical balance that is essential to a dee -cycle batterys eak erformance and long life.
Please follow these steps to properly break in your Wranglers new batteries for maximum efficiency
and service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery rior to its initial use. This initial charging cycle brings the batteries u to about
88% of their eak erformance level.
2. O erate your new Wrangler in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your
home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your Wranglers controls and have ro -
erly broken in your PMVs batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. This recharge should bring the batteries u to about 90% of their eak erfor-
mance level.
4. O erate your Wrangler again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their eak erformance
level and are able to last for an extended eriod of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged dee -cycle batteries rovide reliable erformance and extended battery service life. Kee your
Wranglers batteries fully charged whenever ossible. Batteries that are dee ly discharged, infrequently charged,
or stored without a full charge may be ermanently damaged and cause unreliable erformance and limited service
life.
How should I store my Wrangler and its batteries?
If you lan on not using your Wrangler for an extended eriod of time, it is best to:
nFully charge its batteries rior to storage.
nDisconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals.
nStore your Wrangler in a warm, dry environment.
nAvoid storing your Wrangler where it will be ex osed to tem erature extremes.
WARNING! If your Wranglers batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them.
Cold or frozen batteries should be allo ed to arm up for several days prior to recharging.
