Your PMV requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confident in your ability to perform the maintenance listed below, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at your authorized Pride Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.

TIRE PRESSURE

If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire for pneumatic tires.

WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.

Regularly inspect your PMV’s tires for signs of wear.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT

If your PMV is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube replaced. If your PMV is equipped with a solid tire insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced depending on the model. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for information regarding replacement wheels for your PMV.

WARNING! Wheels on your PMV should only be serviced/replaced by an authorized Pride Provider or qualified technician.

WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tires before dismantling the rim or attempting repair.

WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut, then remove the wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

Bumpers, tires, trim, and the tiller boot can benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.

WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the PMV’s vinyl seat, floorboard, or tire tread, as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.

BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS

Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.

The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.

The battery terminals should face the rear of the PMV.

ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS

The front tiller shroud, front shroud, and the rear shroud are formed from durable ABS plastic and are coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.

A light application of car wax will help the shrouds retain their high gloss.

AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
