13. Connect one circuit breaker harness to the empty positive terminal of one battery, and connect the other circuit
breaker harness to the empty negative terminal of the other battery.
WARNING! Make sure you tighten the fasteners so that the connections are secure.
The electric motors that power your Jet 1 use carbon brushes. These brushes may become susceptible to wear
over a long period of time. The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside the motor assembly that supply
power to the motor. They are designed to provide several thousand hours of operation. However, if the brushes
become dirty with carbon deposits or wear out, the motor will run poorly or not at all. We recommend that your
authorized Pride provider inspect the brushes every six months, or sooner if your Jet 1 runs poorly.
CAUTION! If inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or
motor damage will result. Failure to maintain the brushes could void the warranty.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Remove the seat and body shroud. See VII. “Disassembly.”
2. Unscrew the motor brush caps. See figure 32.
3. Remove the brushes.
4. Inspect for wear.
5. Replace brushes, if necessary. Contact your authorized Pride provider for replacement brushes.
