28 Shuttle
Any electromechanical device will occasionally require 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 Shuttle seem to be dead?
nMake certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.
nCheck that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
nPush in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See V. Description.
nMake certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the electronic controller assembly and
to the battery terminals. See IX. Disassembly and Assembly.
nMake sure that the front-to-rear harness connector is firmly connected. See IX. Disassembly and Assembly.
What if the motor runs but my Shuttle does not move?
nYour Shuttle was probably left in manual freewheel mode.
nWhen the freewheel lever is pulled up, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle is cut.
Push down the freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Shuttle. See V. Description.
What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? See V. Description.
nCharge the Shuttles batteries more frequently. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
nIf the problem continues, have both of your Shuttles batteries load tested by your authorized Pride
provider.
nOr, battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores. Follow the directions supplied
with the load tester.
n See VI. Batteries and Charging��� or IV. Specifications for information about your Shuttles battery
type.
What if the battery condition meter (see V. Description) dips way down and the motor surges or
hesitates when I press my Shuttles throttle control lever?
nFully charge your Shuttles batteries. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
nHave your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.
nOr, see the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.
If you experience any problems with your Shuttle that you are not able to handle, immediately contact your
authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
