X. TROUBLESHOOTINGAny electromechanical device requires occasional troubleshooting. However, most problems that 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.
If you experience any problems with your scooter that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your
authorized Pride Provider for information, maintenance, and service.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
