Electronic Controller Assembly (not shown)
The electronic controller assembly is located behind the batteries and at the forward left corner of the
Shuttle’s rear section. This assembly receives electrical signals from the control console assembly controls
and sends power to the motor, the brakes, and the optional lighting system.
MainCircuit Breaker
When the voltage in your Shuttle’s batteries becomes low or your Shuttle is heavily strained because of
excessive loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your Shuttle’s motor and
electronics from damage.
n The main circuit breaker is located on the front of the rear shroud (behind the left battery case). See
figure 8.
n The main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.
n When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your Shuttle is shut down.
n Allow a minute or so for your Shuttle’s electronics to “rest.”
n Push in the reset button to reset the breaker.
n If the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often. You may also need to
have your Pride provider perform a 50-amp load test on your Shuttle’s batteries.
n If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride provider for service.
Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you need, or want, to push your Shuttle for short distances, you can put it in manual freewheel
mode.
WARNING! Before placing your Shuttle into or taking it out of freewheel mode, make
certain that the key is removed from the key switch. Even though the motor of your Shuttle
is disengaged from the drive system when your scooter is put in manual freewheel mode,
the motor can still run if the throttle lever is pushed. Never sit on a scooter when it is in
freewheel mode. Never put a scooter in freewheel mode on any incline.
n The manual freewheel lever is located on the end of the motor/transaxle assembly at the right rear of the
Shuttle. See figure 8A.
n Pull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system.
n You will then be able to push your Shuttle.
n Push down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system.
Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your Shuttle. Do not, under any circum-
stances, remove the anti-tip wheels from your Shuttle. See figure 8A.
