Care And Maintenance; Tire Pressure - Pride Mobility Shuttle Owner's Manual

X I I . C A R E A N D
Your Shuttle 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:

n For optimum scooter performance we recommend that the tire pressure be maintained at 30 psi.
WARNING! Do not exceed that pressure; overinflating a tire can cause it to explode.
TIRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR:
Regularly inspect your Shuttle’s tires for signs of wear.
n Use a rubber conditioner on your Shuttle’s tires to help to preserve them.
WARNING! Do not put rubber conditioner on tread area of tires; the tires may become
dangerously slippery.
REMOVABLE FLOOR MAT:
n Your Shuttle’s carpet floor mat is held on with reusable fasteners. It can be removed, cleaned, and
reinstalled as necessary.
EXTERIOR SURFACES:
n Bumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
n Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Shuttle’s floor mat or vinyl seat; they may become
dangerously slippery.
TERMINAL CONNECTIONS:
n Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
n The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
n The battery terminals should face the rear of the Shuttle.
WIRING HARNESSES:
n Regularly check all wiring connections.
n Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
n Repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you find before using your
Shuttle again.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS:
n The front console shroud, front shroud, and the rear shroud are formed from durable ABS plastic
and coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
n A light application of car wax helps the shrouds retain their high gloss.
