Charger:
Regularly examine the charger for damage to the cord, plug, housing or other parts that may result in the
risk of fire, electric shock or injury. In the event of any damage, do not use the charger until the damage has been
properly repaired.
Tires:
Check to make sure the lug nuts on the tires are secure. Loose lugs nuts may cause the tire to come loose and
result in the loss of control. Tires are recommended to be filled to 30 psi.
Hardware:
Periodically check all fasteners/hardware for proper tightness. Retighten any loose hardware.
Motor Oil:
Periodically check the oil level in the drive system. To check oil level remove the fill bolt and check to see
there is oil in the drive system. If necessary add additional 5w30 engine oil to the drive system.
Wire Connections:
Periodically check all wire connections.

Normal Stopping your PAW:
To stop your PAW fully
release
the thumb throttle and slowly bring the PAW to a
stop. Once at a stop lower the PAW onto the support legs.
57.
FORCED STOPPING OF YOUR PAW:
In some situations the support legs can be used for additional slowing.
While in motion
release
the thumb throttle and by using both handles slowly lower the PAW onto the support legs to
slow the PAW to a stop. If necessary downward force can be applied to both handles for additional braking. Take
care when using the support legs for stopping as too much pressure may damage your PAW or cause the PAW to
become unstable. During emergency stopping, the support legs may cause damage to the stopping surface.
58.
Operating temperature ranges:
The PAW has an operational range from 110 degrees to minus 10 degrees
Fahrenheit. It needs to be noted that the PAW will be affected by colder temperatures. Cold temperatures cause
the PAW to become sluggish, before operating at full capacity and at speed make sure your PAW’s drive system
has warmed up. For optimum performance at Temperatures below 32 degrees it is recommended to keep the load
below 100 lbs.
54.
Operation:
With the power button in the
ON
position, a direction selected (forward or reverse), both hands on the
handles and solid footing
SLOWLY
press the thumb throttle located on the right handle. This is the variable speed/
power control. The further the thumb throttle is pressed down, the more speed/power your PAW will develop. It is
recommended to start at slower speeds of operation until you feel comfortable with your PAW.
Forward/Reverse
No Throttle

55.
POWER OPERATION OF YOUR PAW
With power switch in the
ON
position take the PAW to a large open outside
area. Grasp the PAW handles with both hands, lift the PAW until the support legs are off the ground and the weight
of the load is transferred to the drive wheels. In this position power forward, backwards, and practice turning the
PAW. To dump the PAW, release the throttle, lift both handles in an upward forward motion pivoting on the drive
wheels and onto the dump support brace until the tub is in a vertical position.
