EXTERIOR SURFACES

Bumpers, tyres and trim can benefit from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter's vinyl seat or tyre
tread, as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your scooter.
Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your scooter.
If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for
use on your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or
cleaning agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin
irritation or premature deterioration of upholstery and/or scooter finishes.

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 away from the seat post.

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.
PROHIBITED! Even though the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements
for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of damp-
ness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electri-
cal components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harnesses directly to detach them from the
scooter. Always grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to pre-
vent wire damage.
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.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected periodi-
cally for wear by your authorised Pride Dealer.
CONSOLE, CHARGER AND REAR ELECTRONICS
Keep these areas free of moisture.
Allow these areas to dry thoroughly if they have been exposed to moisture before operating your
scooter again.
