VIII. TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
If you experience any problems with your scooter that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your
authorised Pride Dealer for information, maintenance and service.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

One of the following actions may eliminate the problem.
! Remove the key then reinsert it and turn it to the “on”
position.

to their battery harness mating connectors.
My scooter’s battery condition meter shows a full
charge, but my scooter does not move when I engage
the throttle control lever.
Ensure your scooter was not left in freewheel mode.

operation.)
NOTE: When the manual freewheel lever is pulled
up, your scooter’s brakes are disengaged and all
power to the motor/transaxle assembly is cut.
