I. INTRODUCTION Pride Owners Club As a Pride product owner, you are invited to register your products warranty and enroll in the Pride Owners Club. You may do so by filling out and returning your enclosed registration card or by visiting Prides web site at www.pridemobility.com. As a registered member, each time you visit our site you will have access to the most interactive and honest educational venue available today for people with mobility needs, their families, and friends.
II. SAFETY 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 n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you. n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
II. SAFETY 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.
II. SAFETY n Do not exceed the specifications in this manual. n Do not carry passengers on your Wrangler under any circumstances. n Never drive your Wrangler across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline. n Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your Wrangler. This recommended driving position gives you the most control over your vehicle.
I I I . E M I / R F I EMI/RFI WARNINGS Laboratory tests performed 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 electromagnetic energy adversely affects the operation of an electrical device, that adverse effect is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
I I I . E M I / R F I Are all PMVs susceptible to EMI/RFI? Each make and model of electric PMV differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. That is, each PMV has a particular level of resistance to EMI/RFI. This resistance is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher resistance level offers greater protection 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.

V. DESCRIPTION Your Wrangler is an indoor/outdoor motorized electric PMV designed to enhance your personal mobility. It was designed to travel primarily on smooth surfaces such as sidewalks, roads, parking lots, floors, and driveways. For easy transportation or storage, you can disassemble your Wrangler into six (6) components. See figure 5. SEAT To remove the Wranglers seat. See VIII Comfort Adjustments. REAR SHROUD To remove the rear shroud: 1. Remove the seat from your Wrangler. See figure 11. 2.
V. DESCRIPTION Key Switch This switch enables you to power up (turn on) and power down (turn off) your Wrangler. n Fully insert the key into the key switch to power up your Wrangler. n Pull the key out to power down your Wrangler. WARNING! If you remove the key from the key switch while your Wrangler is in motion, the electronic brakes engage and your Wrangler comes to an abrupt stop! Tiller Adjustment Lever This lever allows you to adjust the tiller between four different positions.
V. DESCRIPTION REAR SECTION The electronic controller module, batteries, main circuit breaker, power charger cord, freewheel levers, and the motor assemblies are located on the rear section of your Wrangler. See figures 7 and 7A. Batteries The batteries store the electrical energy that powers your Wrangler. For directions on charging your batteries. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
V. DESCRIPTION Manual Freewheel Levers Whenever you want to push your Wrangler for short distances, you can put it in manual freewheel mode. The manual freewheel levers are located on the end of the motors at the rear of the Wrangler. See figure 7A. n Push down on the manual freewheel levers to disable the drive system and the brake system; you will then be able to push your Wrangler.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your Wrangler requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Recharge the batteries with the convenient onboard battery charger. Two important points to remember are: n Charge your Wranglers batteries with the supplied onboard battery charger prior to using it for the first time. n Keep your batteries fully charged to keep your Wrangler running smoothly. NOTE: Use only the onboard battery charger supplied with your Wrangler.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) How does the charger work? When your Wranglers 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.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING What type and size of battery should I use? We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance in your Wrangler. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps. CAUTION! Do not remove the caps from sealed batteries. Water cannot be added to sealed batteries.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING 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 Wranglers specific electrical demands.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Wrangler 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. Familiarize yourself with the following checklist before you get on your Wrangler. Some of the checks must be performed prior to getting on your PMV.
VII. OPERATION PRE-RIDE ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS n Have you fully charged the batteries? See VI. Batteries and Charging. n Are the manual freewheel levers in the drive (up) mode? See V. Description. Never leave the freewheel levers pushed down unless you are manually pushing your Wrangler.
V I I . O P E R AT I O N GETTING OFF OF YOUR WRANGLER 1. Bring your Wrangler to a complete stop. 2. Make certain that the key is removed from the key switch. 3. Push down on the seat rotation lever to unlock the seat and rotate the seat until you are facing toward the side of your Wrangler; release the seat rotation lever to lock the seat securely in place. 4. Carefully get out of the seat and stand to the side of your Wrangler. 5.
VIII. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS WARNING! Remove the key from the key switch before adjusting the tiller or the seat. Never attempt to adjust the tiller or the seat while the PMV is in motion.
