AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
PROHIBITED! Even though the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements for
ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness,
including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical
components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
These items are all prelubricated, sealed and require no subsequent lubrication.
CONSOLE, CHARGER AND ELECTRONICS
! Keep these areas free of moisture.
! If any of these items do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before operating your
scooter again.
NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the periodic maintenance, assembly or disassembly of the scooter must
be replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should not be reused as it may cause damage to the nylon insert,
resulting in a less secure fit. Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are available at local hardware stores or through an
authorised Pride Provider.
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.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Your scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your
local waste disposal agency for information on proper disposal of packaging, metal frame components, plastic
components, electronics, and batteries.
STORAGE
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
! Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
! Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
! Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen
battery.

Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored
without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. Pride
recommends that you charge the scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure
proper performance.
You may also wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise the scooter off of the ground
during periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tyres and reduces the possibility of flat spots
developing on the areas of the tyres contacting the ground.
