Pride Rally - Troubleshooting; Scooter Systems Not Responding; Motor Runs, Scooter Does Not Move; Main Circuit Breaker Trips Frequently

26 Rally
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems
that may 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 all the systems on my Rally seem to be dead?
n Make certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.
n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See V. Batteries and Charging.
n Push the reset button in to reset the main circuit breaker. See IV. Description.
n Make certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the electronic controller assembly and
to the battery terminals. See VIII. Disassembly and Assembly.
n Make sure that the front-to-rear harness connector is firmly connected. See VIII. Disassembly and
Assembly.
What if the motor runs but my Rally does not move?
n Your Rally was probably left in manual freewheel mode.
n When the freewheel lever is pushed down, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle is
cut.
n Push down the freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Rally. See IV. Description.
What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips?
n Charge the Rallys batteries more frequently. See V. Batteries and Charging.
n If the problem continues, have both of your Rallys batteries load tested by your authorized Pride
provider.
n Or, test the batteries yourself. Battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores.
n Follow the directions supplied with the load tester.
n See V. Batteries and Charging for information about your Rallys battery type.
What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press
my Rallys throttle control lever?
n Fully charge your Rallys batteries. See V. Batteries and Charging.
n Have your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.
n Or, see the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.
If you experience any problems with your Rally that you are unable to handle, immediately contact your
authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
