Troubleshooting - Pride Mobility Victory Series Manual

X .
Any electromechanical device requires occasional troubleshooting. However, most problems that arise can usually
be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not
fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
PROBLEM
All Scooter systems appear to be dead.
My Scooter does not move even though the motor runs.
My Scooter’s main circuit breaker trips repeatedly.
My Scooter’s battery condition meter dips way down and
the motor surges or hesitates when I press the throttle
control lever.
If you experience any problems with your Scooter that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your authorized
Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
