Your scooter 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 authorised Pride Dealer. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.

TYRE PRESSURE

!If equipped with pneumatic tyres, always maintain a proper tyre pressure.

WARNING! It is important that 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

!Regularly inspect your scooter’s tyres for signs of wear.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT

If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can have the tube replaced. If your scooter is equipped with a solid tyre insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced depending on model. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer for information regarding replacement wheels for your scooter.

WARNING! Prevent personal injury! Completely deflate pneumatic tyres before dismantling the rim or attempting repair.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

Bumpers, tyres, trim, and the tiller boot can benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.

WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter’s vinyl seat or tyre tread. They will become dangerously slippery and result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS

!Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.

!The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.

!The battery terminals should face the rear of the scooter.

WIRING HARNESSES

!Regularly check all wiring connections.

!Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power lead, for wear or damage.

!Have your authorised Pride Dealer repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you find before using your scooter again.

ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS

The front tiller shroud, front shroud, and the rear shroud are formed from durable ABS plastic and are coated with an advanced formula urethane paint. A light application of car wax will help the shrouds retain their high gloss.

AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
