IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Travel Scooter 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 mainte-
nance 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 indicated on each tire.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure 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 indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result
in tire and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your Travel Scooter’s tires for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your Travel Scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube
replaced. If your Travel Scooter is equipped with a solid tire insert, either the solid insert or the entire
wheel must be replaced depending on model. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for information
regarding replacement wheels for your Travel Scooter.
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, and trim can benefit from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Travel Scooter’s vinyl seat or
tire tread. They will become dangerously slippery.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your Travel
Scooter. Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your Travel Scooter.
If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for
use on your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or
cleaning agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin
irritation or premature deterioration of upholstery and/or Travel Scooter finishes.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and are not corroded.
