Your Victory 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:
νFor 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 Victory’s tires for signs of wear.
νUse a rubber conditioner on your Victory’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:
νYour Victory’s carpet floor mat is held on with reusable fasteners. It can be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled as necessary.
EXTERIOR SURFACES:
νBumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
νDo not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Victory’s floor mat or vinyl seat; they may become danger- ously slippery.
TERMINAL CONNECTIONS:
νMake certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
νThe batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
νThe battery terminals should face the rear of the Victory.
WIRING HARNESSES:
νRegularly check all wiring connections.
νRegularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
νRepair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you find before using your Victory again.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS:
νThe front console shroud, front shroud, and the rear shroud are formed from durableABS plastic and coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
νA light application of car wax helps the shrouds retain their high gloss.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY:
νThese items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER:
νKeep these areas free of moisture.
νIf any of these items do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before operating your Victory again.
