II. SAFETY
GENERAL
WARNING! Do not operate your new PMV for the first time without completely reading
and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your PMV is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the PMV user. Please be aware that the
final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of PMV to be used is the responsibility of the
PMV user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical
doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted
the PMV to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride
Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the PMV user will need to practice
operating the PMV in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting a PMV user in various daily-living activities.
As you begin using your PMV during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you
will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you
maneuver through doorways, on and off lifts, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to operating the PMV safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered your PMV to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of
accessories are available from your authorized Pride Provider to further customize your PMV to better
suit your needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove,
or disable any feature, part, or function of your PMV.
WARNING! Do not modify your PMV in any way not authorized by Pride. Do not use
accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride Products.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your PMV by any of its removable parts,
including the armrests, seat, or shroud.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your PMV and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check
before each use to make sure your PMV operates smoothly and safely.
Wrangler www.pridemobility.com
9
Page 10
II. SAFETY
Perform the following inspections prior to using your PMV:
Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated
on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires.
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
Check the brakes.
Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
TIRE INFLATION
If your PMV is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least
once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth
operation of your PMV.
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on
the tire be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate
your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst.
Failure to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all
times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your PMV tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them,
resulting in a burst tire.
NOTE: If the tires on your PMV list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to find
the bar or kPa rating: bar = psi x 0.06895; kPa = psi x 6.89476.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your PMV is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your PMV. Exceeding the
weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or
property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your PMV. Carrying passengers on your PMV may
affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or fall.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe
access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your PMV.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
Take wide swings with your PMV around any tight corners. If you do that, the PMV’s rear wheels will
follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
When driving down a ramp, keep the PMV’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent.
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
10
www.pridemobility.com Wrangler
Page 11
II. SAFETY
When climbing an incline, try to keep your PMV moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the
slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your PMV starts to move down the incline
faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control
lever. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the PMV in
freewheel mode, especially while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face
of the incline. Drive your PMV straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the
possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an
incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your PMV across the side of an incline or diagonally up or
down an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e.,
areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! Even though your PMV is capable of climbing slopes greater than
those listed in the product specifications, do not, under any circumstances,
exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
manual. Doing so could cause instability in your PMV.
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do
not necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made,
not designed specifically for PMVs.
These tests were conducted with the PMV’s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat
base to its farthest rearward position. Use the specification information as a guideline. Your PMV’s ability
to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your PMV’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline,
and your PMV setup.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is listedi n the
product specifications may put your PMV in an unstable position and cause it to tip.
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. (6.8 kg). Never fill the
rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs. (6.8 kg).
Wrangler www.pridemobility.com

II. SAFETY
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 1 and 2. This shifts the center of
gravity of you and your PMV toward the front of the PMV for improved stability.
NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the
powered PMV may "roll back" approximately 1 foot (30.48 cm) before the brake engages. If the throttle
control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered PMV may "roll back" approximately 3
feet (1 meter) before the brake engages.
Figure 1. Normal Driving Position
Figure 2. Increased Stability Driving Position
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility
of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning),
uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction
(such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area—especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt
directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a
corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your PMV
from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of
gravity. When using your PMV at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise extreme common sense when
cornering.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your PMV is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the
center/stop position.
Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or
when power is removed from the system for any reason.

II. SAFETY
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your PMV is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions - dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you
will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your PMV is designed to perform admirably on packed
soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your PMV safely on lawns and in park areas.
Reduce your PMV’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! You should not operate your PMV on public streets and roadways. Be aware
that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your PMV. Obey all
local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed
with extreme caution.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your PMV climb or descend an obstacle that is
inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your PMV proceed backward down any step, curb, or
other obstacle. This may cause the PMV to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your PMV is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required
to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 4.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in. (5 cm).

II. SAFETY
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.
PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery
surfaces can cause damage to the PMV and 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 manual freewheel levers that, when pushed down, allow 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 to the side of 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 rearwards to pull the door open.
14

II. SAFETY
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
If 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 and the door will reopen.
Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or PMV accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your PMV, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in
transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
NOTE: If your PMV’s turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver
in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your PMV in
small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
WARNING! Never sit on your PMV when it is being used in connection with any
type of lift/elevation product. Your PMV was not designed with such use in mind,
and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of Pride.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
MANDATORY! PMV batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are
unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques
and avoid lifting beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables
must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must
be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Failure to connect your
battery harnesses in the proper manner may result in personal injury and/or
damage to your PMV. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag. Contact your local
waste disposal agency or your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling,
which is our recommended course of action.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact.

II. SAFETY
ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency
waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility
vehicles.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile
two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters,
wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers
used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to
the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI.
The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and
has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/M.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio
transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility
vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your
mobility vehicle and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered
mobility vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your
PMV in any way not authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance
of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, visit the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If
unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your PMV off as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact
your authorized Pride Provider to report the incident.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your PMV requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that
are sealed and maintenance free. Recharge the batteries with the convenient onboard battery charger.
Charge your PMV’s batteries prior to using for the first time.
Keep your batteries fully charged to keep your PMV running
smoothly.
NOTE: Use only the onboard battery charger supplied with your PMV.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
Figure 7. Ammeter
The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your
batteries. (The meter reads 24 volts when your batteries are fully charged.) To check the charge, you must
first unplug the onboard battery charger and insert the key into the key switch. 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 7. The amperage reading should be at or near zero (0) when the batteries
are fully charged. The battery charger must be plugged into a standard electrical outlet to obtain an
ammeter reading.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If
necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet
having 2-pronged plug access.
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug
the charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the PMV while the
batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries
while the PMV is occupied.
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the
manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep
the PMV and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or
sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before
each use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.
WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger
does not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not
attempt to insert objects through these slots.

IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor
use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery
charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be
allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors.
Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
Follow these steps to safely charge your batteries:
1. Position your PMV close to a standard electrical outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Ensure both freewheel levers are in the drive position.
4. Extend the charger power cord (see figure 6A) and plug it into the electrical outlet. We recommend
you charge your PMV’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
5. When the batteries are fully charged (indicated by the ammeter reading 0), unplug the onboard charger
power cord from the electrical outlet.
There are two LED indicators (red and green) on the front of the battery charger.
When lit, the red LED indicates that the batteries are being charged.
When lit, the green LED indicates that the batteries are fully charged.
When the green and red LEDs are simultaneously lit, it indicates charging is nearly complete.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your PMV. 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 PMV’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to
the batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage of the batteries approaches 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 amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the
charge on your PMV’s batteries but does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the
battery charger for charging instructions.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your PMV’s batteries, you should simultaneously
charge both batteries using only the manufacturer-supplied onboard battery charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your PMV’s batteries:
All day PMV use on a daily basis.
Infrequent or sporadic PMV use.

$8;
%$7
With these considerations in mind, you can determine just how often and for how long you should charge
your PMV’s batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it does not overcharge your PMV’s batteries; however, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and
if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable
battery operation and charging:
If you use your PMV 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
PMV’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
If you use your PMV once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours
at a time.
Keep your PMV’s batteries fully charged.
Avoid deeply discharging your PMV’s batteries.
Do not charge your PMV’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What if my PMV doesn’t arrive with batteries?
If your PMV does not come with batteries already installed from Pride, you have chosen to purchase the batteries separately. Carefully follow the instructions below for proper wire placement and battery installation.
To install the batteries in your PMV:
1. Remove the seat and rear shroud from the PMV.
2. Place the batteries into the battery wells with the terminals facing away from the seat post. Be sure
that the positive (+) terminal of the left side battery and the negative (-) terminal of the right side
battery are facing forward. See figure 8.
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 positive (+) battery terminal.
6. Fasten the battery tie-down straps.
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 terminals.
3. Unfasten the battery tie-down straps.
4. Remove the batteries.
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 packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of
these driving conditions affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.
Always fully charge your PMV’s batteries prior to your daily use.
Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.
Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
Try to maintain an even speed while your PMV is in motion.
Avoid stop-and-go driving.
What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are
deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance in your PMV. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which
have removable caps.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-
Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed
to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your PMV’s specific
electrical demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and are shipped fully charged to our customers.
During shipping, the batteries may encounter temperature extremes that may influence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time
needed to recharge the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your PMV’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new
room or ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (a partial drain followed
by a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak
performance and long life.
26

Page 27
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Please follow these steps to properly break in your PMV’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and
service life:
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This initial charging cycle brings the batteries up
to about 88% of their peak performance level.
2. Operate your new PMV 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 PMV’s controls and
have properly broken in your PMV’s batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. This recharge should bring the batteries up to about 90% of their peak
performance level.
4. Operate your PMV 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 peak
performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery service life. Keep
your PMV’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are deeply discharged, infrequently
charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged and cause unreliable performance
and limited service life.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your PMV to raise it off
the ground and take the weight off the tires. This reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the
areas of the tires contacting the ground.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation while using your PMV, you must contact the transportation
Provider in advance to determine their specific requirements.

IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your PMV requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confident in your ability
to perform the maintenance listed below, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at your authorized
Pride Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TIRE PRESSURE
If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each
tire for pneumatic tires.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire
be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your
tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure
to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all times
may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your PMV’s tires for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your PMV is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube replaced. If
your PMV is equipped with a solid tire insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced
depending on the model. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for information regarding replacement
wheels for your PMV.
WARNING! Wheels on your PMV should only be serviced/replaced by an authorized Pride
Provider or qualified technician.
WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tires before dismantling the rim or attempting
repair.
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tires, trim, and the tiller boot can benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl
conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the PMV’s vinyl seat, floorboard,
or tire tread, as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
The battery terminals should face the rear of the PMV.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
The front tiller shroud, front shroud, and the rear shroud are formed from durable ABS plastic and are
coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
A light application of car wax will help the shrouds retain their high gloss.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.

or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited
service life. It is recommended that you charge the PMV batteries periodically throughout periods of
prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your PMV to raise it off of the ground during
periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots
developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR PMV
Your PMV must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, and batteries.
