Main Circuit Breaker (Reset Button)
When the voltage in your PMV’s batteries becomes low or your PMV is heavily strained because of excessive loads, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your PMV’s motor and electronics from damage. See figure 6.
The main circuit breaker is mounted between the two batteries.
When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your PMV is shut down. The main circuit breaker is designed to manually reset after one minute.
If the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often or have your Pride Provider perform a load test on your PMV’s batteries.
If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride Provider for service.

Battery Charger
The PMV comes with its own onboard battery charger. When the charger is plugged into an electrical outlet, it charges the PMV’s batteries. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”
Manual Freewheel Levers
Whenever you want to push your PMV for short distances, you can put it in manual freewheel mode. The manual freewheel levers are located on the end of the motors at the rear of the PMV. See figure 6A.
1.Remove the key from the key switch.
2.Push down on both manual freewheel levers to disable the drive and the brake systems. This will enable you to push the PMV.
3.Pull up on both manual freewheel levers to reengage the drive and the brake systems and take your PMV out of freewheel mode.
WARNING! When your PMV is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged. Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
Stand to the side of the PMV to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a PMV to do this.
After you have finished pushing your PMV, always return it to the drive mode to lock the brakes.
