Any electromechanical device will occasionally require 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 Shuttle seem to be “dead”?

νMake certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.

νCheck that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νPush in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See V. “Description.”

νMake certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the electronic controller assembly and to the battery terminals. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”

νMake sure that the front-to-rear harness connector is firmly connected. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”

What if the motor runs but my Shuttle does not move?

νYour Shuttle was probably left in manual freewheel mode.

νWhen the freewheel lever is pulled up, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle is cut. Push down the freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Shuttle. See V. “Description.”

What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? See V. “Description.”

νCharge the Shuttle’s batteries more frequently. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νIf the problem continues, have both of your Shuttle’s batteries load tested by your authorized Pride provider.

νOr, battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores. Follow the directions supplied with the load tester.

νSee VI. “Batteries and Charging” or IV. “Specifications” for information about your Shuttle’s battery type.

What if the battery condition meter (see V. “Description”) dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press my Shuttle’s throttle control lever?

νFully charge your Shuttle’s batteries. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νHave your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.

νOr, see the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.

If you experience any problems with your Shuttle that you are not able to handle, immediately contact your authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
