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. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TIRE PRESSURE
If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain the psi/ bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your PMV’s tires for signs of wear.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tires, trim, and the tiller boot can benefit from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
