Care And Maintenance - Pride Mobility Destiny Owner's Manual

X . C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
Your 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 with your authorised Pride
Dealer. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TYRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR
! Regularly inspect your scooter's tyres for signs of wear.
! Use a rubber conditioner on your scooter's tyre sidewalls to help to preserve them.
WARNING! Do not apply rubber conditioner on tyre tread; this may cause the tyres to
become dangerously slippery.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can have the tube replaced. If your
scooter is equipped with a solid tyre insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced depending on
model. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer for information regarding replacement wheels for your scooter.
WARNING! Prevent personal injury! Completely deflate pneumatic tyres before dismantling
the rim or attempting repair.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut, then remove the tyre. If
any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode, possibly
resulting in personal injury.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
! Bumpers and trim benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not apply a rubber or vinyl conditioner on a scooter's vinyl seat or floorboard
mats; they will become dangerously slippery.
! The scooter shroud is made from durable ABS plastic and coated with an advanced formula urethane paint. A
light application of car wax will help the shroud retain its high gloss. Avoid using rubbing compounds on the
shroud.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
! Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and are not corroded.
! The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
! The battery terminals should face towards the inside of the scooter.
WIRING HARNESSES
! Regularly check all wiring connections.
! Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power lead, for wear or damage.
! Have your authorised Pride Dealer repair or replace any damaged connector, connection or insulation that you
find before using your scooter again.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed and require no subsequent lubrication.
