Battery Charger Fuse
The fuse has been incorporated into your charger to protect it from damage in the event of an electrical problem. If your charger fuse repeatedly blows, try plugging your scooter’s power charger cord into an outlet on a different circuit.
νThe fuse is located under a cap on the outside of the battery charger.
νThe cap unscrews to allow access to the fuse.
νUnscrew the cap and replace the fuse if it has blown.
WARNING! The replacement fuse must exactly match the rating of the new fuse. Failure to use properly rated fuses may cause damage to the electrical system and may result in personal injury.
Batteries
The batteries store the electrical energy that powers your scooter. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
Main Circuit Breaker
When the voltage in your scooter’s batteries becomes low or your scooter is heavily strained because of excessive loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your scooter’s motor and electronics from damage.
νThe main circuit breaker is mounted on the rear section of the scooter, near the manual freewheel lever. See figure 7.
νThe main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.
νWhen the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your scooter is shut down.
νAllow a minute or so for your scooter’s electronics to “rest.”
νPush in the reset button to reset the breaker.
νIf the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often. You may also need to have your authorized Pride Provider perform a load test on your scooter’s batteries.
νIf the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride Provider for service.
Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you need or want to push your scooter for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode. See figure 7.
WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
νDisengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
νEnsure the key is removed from the key switch.
νStand behind the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a scooter to do this.
νAfter you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
νPull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system. You will then be able to push your scooter.
νPush down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system and the brake system and to take your scooter out of freewheel mode.
