Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged, or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.

What if all the systems on my Legend seem to be “dead”?

νMake certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.

νCheck that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νPush in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See V. “Your Legend.”

νMake certain that both black and white battery harnesses are firmly connected. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”

νMake sure all battery cables are connected to the battery terminals and the wing nuts are tightened.

νMake sure that the front-to-rear harness is firmly connected. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”

What if the motor runs but my Legend does not move?

νYour Legend was probably left in manual freewheel mode.

νWhen the manual freewheel lever is pulled up, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle is cut.

νPush down the manual freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Legend. See V. “Your Legend.”

What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? See V. “Your Legend.”

νCharge the Legend’s batteries more frequently. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νIf the problem continues, have both of your Legend’s batteries load tested by your authorized Pride provider.

νOr, battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores.

νFollow the directions supplied with the load tester.

νSee VI. “Batteries and Charging” or IV. “Specifications” for information about your Legend’s bat- tery type.

What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press my Legend’s throttle control lever? See V. “Your Legend.”

νFully charge your Legend’s batteries. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νHave your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.

νOr, see the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.

If you experience any problems with your Legend that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
