WHEN TO SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED PRIDE PROVIDER FOR SERVICE

The following symptoms could indicate a serious problem with your Jet 2. If necessary, contact your authorized Pride provider. When calling, have the model number, serial number, nature of the problem, and the trouble code, if available.

νMotor noise

νFrayed harnesses

νCracked or broken connectors

νUneven wear on any of the tires

νJerky motion

νPulling to one side

νBent or broken wheel assemblies

νDoes not power up

νPowers up, but does not move

CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

If the battery condition meter does not light up when you turn on the power:

νCheck the 9-pin controller connector and the charger harness connector. See figures 9 and 10. Make sure they are tight.

νCheck the circuit breaker. Reset it if necessary.

νCheck the battery connections.

If the above conditions prove normal, you can load test the batteries with a battery load tester. These testers are available at automotive parts stores. Disconnect both batteries before load testing and follow the directions that come with the load tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace both of them. If your Jet 2 still does not power up, contact your authorized Pride provider.

MOTOR BRUSHES

The electric motors that power your Jet 2 use carbon brushes. These brushes may become susceptible to wear over a long period of time. The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside the motor assembly that supply power to the motor. They are designed to provide several thousand hours of operation. However, if the brushes become dirty with carbon deposits or wear out, the motor will run poorly or not at all.
