How do I change a battery in my scooter?

MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.

WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and amp- hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.

WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time.

WARNING! Contact your authorized Pride Provider if you have any questions regarding the batteries in your scooter.

WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.

WARNING! The batteries on your scooter should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized Pride Provider or a qualified technician.

To change the batteries in your scooter:

1.Remove the seat and battery shroud.

2.Disconnect the battery tie-down strap.

3.Disconnect the battery harnesses by pulling them straight up. See figure 12.

4.Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals by sliding back the terminal boots and unscrewing the nut from the bolt.

5.Remove the old batteries from the battery wells.

NOTE: If spacers are installed to secure the batteries, make sure they are reinstalled correctly when placing new batteries into the battery wells. See figure 23.

6.Place a new battery in each battery well. Face the battery terminals of each battery away from the seat post. See figure 13.

7.Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on each battery.

8.Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) bat- tery terminal on each battery.

9.Reposition the terminal boots over the battery terminals.

10.Reconnect the battery harnesses.

11.Reconnect the battery tie-down strap.

NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag. Contact your local waste disposal agency or your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
