Your 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 maintenance with your authorised Pride
Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TYRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR
! Regularly inspect your scooter’s tyres for signs of wear.
! Use a rubber conditioner on your scooter’s tyre sidewalls to help to preserve them.
WARNING! Do not apply rubber conditioner on tyre tread; this may cause the tyres to
become dangerously slippery.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can have the tube replaced. If your
scooter is equipped with a solid tyre insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced depending on
model. Contact your authorised Pride Provider for information regarding replacement wheels for your scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your scooter should only be serviced/replaced by an authorised
Pride Provider or qualified technician.
WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tyres before dismantling the rim or attempting repair.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut and washer, then remove
the wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
! Bumpers and trim benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not apply a rubber or vinyl conditioner on a scooter’s vinyl seat or floorboard
mats; they will become dangerously slippery.
! The scooter shroud is made from durable ABS plastic and coated with an advanced formula urethane paint. A light
application of car wax will help the shroud retain its high gloss. Avoid using rubbing compounds on the shroud.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
! Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and are not corroded.
! The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
! The battery terminals should face towards the inside of the scooter.
WIRING HARNESSES
! Regularly check all wiring connections.
! Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power lead, for wear or damage.
! Have your authorised Pride Provider repair or replace any damaged connector, connection or insulation that
you find before using your scooter again.
X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Any electromechanical device requires occasional troubleshooting. However, most problems that arise can usually
be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not
fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
What if the motor runs but my scooter does not move?
! Your scooter was probably left in freewheel mode.
! When the manual freewheel lever is pushed down, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the motor/transaxle
is cut.
! Pull the manual freewheel lever upward to restore normal operation to your scooter.
What if the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly?
! Charge the scooter’s batteries more frequently. See V. “Batteries and Charging.”
! See V. “Batteries and Charging” or III. “Specifications” for information about your scooter’s battery type.
! If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorised Pride Provider for service.
What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press the
throttle control lever?
! Fully charge your scooter’s batteries. See V. “Batteries and Charging.”
! Have your authorised Pride Provider load test each battery.
What if all the systems on my scooter seem to be “dead?”
! Make certain that the key is in the “on” position.
! Check that the batteries are fully charged. See V. “Batteries and Charging.”
! Push in the main circuit breaker reset button. See IV. “Your Scooter.”
! If having changed a battery recently, ensure all the battery connections secure.
! Check that the power down timer feature has not been activated. See VI. “Operation.”
If you experience any problems with your scooter that you are not able to solve, contact your authorised Pride
Provider for information on maintenance and service.
