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 Celebrity 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. “Your Celebrity.”

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

νMake sure that the front-to-rear harnessconnector is firmly connected. See IX. “Disassembly andAssembly.”

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

νYour Celebrity 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.

νPush down the freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Celebrity. See V. “Your Celebrity.”

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

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

νIf the problem continues, have both of your Celebrity’s batteries load tested by your authorized Pride Mobility Products Corporation Provider.

νOr, battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores.

νFollow the directions supplied with the load tester.

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

What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press my Celebrity’s throttle control lever? See V. “Your Celebrity.”

νFully charge your Celebrity’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 Celebrity that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your authorized Pride Provider for information, maintenance, and service.
