Main Circuit Breaker

When the voltage in your Maxima’s batteries becomes low or your Maxima is heavily strained because of exces- sive loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your Maxima’s motor and electronics from damage.

νThe main circuit breaker (reset button) is mounted on the electronic controller assembly cover. See figure 8.

νThe main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.

νWhen the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your Maxima is shut down.

νAllow a minute or so for your Maxima’s electronics to “rest.”

νPush in the reset button to reset the breaker.

νIf the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often. You may also need to have your authorized Pride provider perform a load test on your Maxima’s batteries.

Manual Freewheel Lever

Whenever you need, or want, to push your Maxima for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode.

νThe manual freewheel lever is located on the end of the motor/transaxle assembly at the right rear of the Maxima. See figure 9.

νPull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system. You will then be able to push your Maxima.

νPush down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive and the brake systems. This takes your Maxima out of freewheel mode.

WARNING! Before placing your Maxima in or taking it out of freewheel mode, make certain that the key is removed from the key switch. Even though the motor of your Maxima is disengaged from the drive system when your scooter is put in freewheel mode, the motor can still run if the throttle control lever is pushed. Never sit on a scooter when it is in freewheel mode. Never put a scooter in freewheel mode on any incline.

Motor/Transaxle Assembly

The motor/transaxle assembly is the electromechanical unit that converts the electrical energy of your Maxima’s batteries into the controlled mechanical energy that drives the Maxima’s wheels. See figure 9.

Anti-Tip Wheels

The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your Maxima. Do not, under any circumstances, remove the anti-tip wheels from your Maxima. The three-wheel Maxima is equipped with both front and rear anti- tip wheels. See figures 9 and 9A.
