Care And Maintenance - Pride Mobility Legend 3-Wheel Scooter Owner's Manual

X I . C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
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 authorized Pride
Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TIRE PRESSURE
! If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain a proper 30-35 psi tire pressure.
WARNING! It is important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at
all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of
control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure in
pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
! Regularly inspect your scooter's tires for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube replaced. If your
scooter is equipped with a solid tire insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced depending on
model. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for information regarding replacement wheels for your scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your scooter should only be serviced/replaced by an authorized
Pride Provider or qualified technician.
WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tires before dismantling the rim or attempting
repair.
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tires, trim, and the tiller boot 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 tire tread,
as they will 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 the rear of the scooter.

WIRING HARNESSES
! Regularly check all wiring connections.
! Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
! Have your authorized Pride Provider repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that
you find before using your scooter again.
WARNING! 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.
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 periodically for
wear by your authorized Pride Provider.
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 charging the batteries and
operating your scooter again.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
WARNING! The replacement fuse must exactly match the rating of the old fuse. Failure to
use properly rated fuses may cause damage to the electrical system.
In the event a fuse should cease to work:
1. Remove the fuse by pulling it out of its slot.
2. Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See figures 25 and 25A.
3. Insert a new fuse of the proper rating.
