Safety Information
Read these warnings carefully. Know the application and limitations of the PAW. Failure to follow these warnings could
result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Never
allow people, children or pets to ride in your PAW. Doing so can cause injury or harm to them.
NEVER
modify the electrical system. Alterations may cause serious injury and could ruin or permanently
damage the components. Use of your PAW components in any other products or applications could cause
overheating, fire or explosion resulting in harm, damage or injury to others or property.
PAW should
NEVER
be immersed in water. Immersing the drive system or electrical components can
cause operational failure of your PAW and possible electrical shock.
NEVER
use any components other than those supplied with Your PAW to charge the batteries. Use of
other cables, chargers or any non
-
approved electrical equipment can cause electrical shock & fire resulting
in possible harm and/or serious personal injury to you or others.
ONLY USE
AGM sealed type batteries. Non
-
sealed batteries can leak battery acid causing damage to
property and harm to people or pets.
NEVER
allow children to charge the battery. Battery charging must be done by adults only. A child could
be injured by the electricity involved in charging the battery.
The battery must be handled by adults only. The battery is heavy and contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte).
Dropping the battery could result in an acid leak and result in serious personal injury. If skin contact is
made with battery acid – wash immediately with soap and water. If irritation continues seek medical attention.
NEVER
operate your PAW in an overloaded condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or over the
sides of the tray can cause the PAW to be uncontrollably out of balance resulting in harm or injury to you
or others, and damage to property.
NEVER
operate your PAW in an overweight condition. (200 pounds maximum load capacity) Weight
capacity can also be limited by physical capability of the operator. Most healthy adults can operate the
PAW safely with loads of up to 100 pounds. Operating with loads above 100 pounds is a personal decision and only
you can judge your capability. Under no circumstances should you attempt to move a load weighing over 200 pounds.
NEVER
Touch the drive motor or axels after prolonged PAW use. It is normal for the drive components to
get warm to the touch, even hot, after prolonged use. Failure to remember this can result in injury.
NEVER
operate your PAW or allow others to operate it while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
NEVER
under any circumstance tow the PAW behind a vehicle.
NEVER
use the PAW indoors, the PAW is designed for outdoor use only. Indoor use may cause damage
to flooring or other household items.
NEVER
operate your PAW without having both hands firmly grasping the handles. Failure to do this can
cause loss of control, resulting in harm or injury to others and possible damage to property.
NEVER
operate your PAW at speeds faster than a walk. (3 miles per hour) The tires are only designed
for low speed use. Using your PAW at higher speeds may result in tire failure or blow outs and could
cause injury to others and damage to property.
During snowy or rainy weather, the PAW should be stored inside or under a protective cover.
