LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
The PMV's light bulbs are easily replaceable. Do not use regular automotive-type 12-volt light bulbs; your PMV
is equipped with a 24-volt electrical system. Replacement light bulbs can be purchased from your authorized Pride
Provider.
NOTE: Use only 24-volt light bulbs.
1. Remove the light cover.
2. Gently remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.
3. Insert a new bulb of the same wattage.
4. Replace the light cover.
NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the periodic maintenance, assembly or disassembly of the PMV 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
your authorized Pride Provider.
STORING YOUR PMV
If you plan on not using your PMV for an extended period of time, it is best to:
1. Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
2. Disconnect the batteries from the PMV.
3. Store your PMV in a warm, dry environment.
4. Avoid storing your PMV where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery may reselt in damage to the 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. It is
recommended that you charge the PMV batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure
proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your PMV to raise it 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.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR PMV
Your PMV must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your local
waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of packaging, metal frame
components, plastic components, electronics, and batteries.
