Your Maxima 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.

TIRE PRESSURE

νWe recommend that the tire pressure be maintained at 30-35 psi.

WARNING! Do not exceed 35 psi; overinflating a tire can cause it to explode.

TIRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR:

νRegularly inspect your Maxima’s tires for signs of wear.

νUse a rubber conditioner on your Maxima’s tires to help to preserve them.

WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Maxima’s tire tread; they will become dangerously slippery.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

νBumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.

Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Maxima’s floor mat or vinyl seat; they may become dangerously slippery.

BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS

νMake certain that the terminal connections remain tight and free from corrosion.

νThe batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.

νThe battery terminals should face the rear of the Maxima.

WIRING HARNESSES

νRegularly check all wiring connections.

νRegularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.

νRepair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you find before using your Maxima again.

ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS

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

νA light application of car wax helps the shrouds retain their high gloss.

MAXIMA BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

νThese items are all pre-lubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.

CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY

νKeep these areas free of moisture.

νIf any of these items do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before operating your Maxima again.

STORAGE

νSee “How should I store my Maxima and its batteries?” See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
