STORING YOUR PMV
If you plan on not using your PMV for an extended period of time, it is best to:
 Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
 Disconnect the batteries from the PMV.
 Store your PMV in a warm, dry environment.
 Avoid storing your PMV where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
 Recommended storage temperature: -104ºF/-75ºC to 158ºF/70ºC.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a
frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures,
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 pro-
longed 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 Provider for information on proper disposal of packaging,
metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and polyurethane
materials.
