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.

PROHIBITED! Keep tools and other metal objects away from battery terminals. Contact with tools can cause electrical shock.

You may need the following to change your batteries:

Metric/standard socket set and ratchet

Adjustable wrench

WARNING! Do not lift beyond your physical capability. Ask for assistance when necessary while disassembling or assembling your scooter.

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 depressing the tabs and then 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. See figure 14.

WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harness wires directly to detach them from the Travel Scooter. Always grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to prevent wire damage.

5.Remove the old batteries from the battery wells.

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.
