How do I change a battery in my scooter?

MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.

WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and amp- hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.

WARNING! Contact your authorized Pride Provider if you have any questions regarding the batteries in your scooter.

WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.

WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time.

WARNING! The batteries on your scooter should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized Pride Provider or a qualified technician.

3.Disconnect the battery harnesses by pulling them straight up. See figure 13.
