Your Travel 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 the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire 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 the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result
in tire and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your Travel Scooter's tires for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your Travel Scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube
replaced. If your Travel 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 Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your Travel Scooter should only be serviced/replaced by a qualified
technician.
WARNING! Be sure that the key is removed from the key switch and the Travel Scooter
is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
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.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for
solid tires:
1. Remove the key from the key switch and ensure your
Travel Scooter is not in freewheel mode.
2. Elevate the side of the Travel Scooter of which you are
removing the tire. Place wooden blocks under the frame
to elevate the Travel Scooter.
3. Remove the drive wheel nut and washer from the axle.
See figure 25.
4. Pull the wheel off the axle.
5. Slide the new wheel onto the axle. Make sure that the
axle key is in the axle slot.
WARNING! Failure to ensure that the axle
key is properly installed into the axle slot
when mounting the wheel can result in
electronic brake failure, personal injury,
and/or product damage.
6. Reinstall the drive wheel nut and washer onto the axle and tighten.
WARNING! Make sure that both the nut and washer are reinstalled and tightened properly.
7. Remove the block from beneath the Travel Scooter.
