XII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Shuttle requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. 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:
nFor optimum scooter performance we recommend that the tire pressure be maintained at 30 psi.
WARNING! Do not exceed that pressure; overinflating a tire can cause it to explode.
TIRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR:
Regularly inspect your Shuttles tires for signs of wear.
nUse a rubber conditioner on your Shuttles tires to help to preserve them.
WARNING! Do not put rubber conditioner on tread area of tires; the tires may become
dangerously slippery.
REMOVABLE FLOOR MAT:
n Your Shuttles carpet floor mat is held on with reusable fasteners. It can be removed, cleaned, and
reinstalled as necessary.
EXTERIOR SURFACES:
nBumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
nDo not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Shuttles floor mat or vinyl seat; they may become
dangerously slippery.
TERMINAL CONNECTIONS:
nMake certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
nThe batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
nThe battery terminals should face the rear of the Shuttle.
WIRING HARNESSES:
nRegularly check all wiring connections.
nRegularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.

and coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
nA light application of car wax helps the shrouds retain their high gloss.
