Care And Maintenance - Gogo ES 8 Owner's Manual

I X . C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
Your Travel 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 at your
authorised Pride Dealer. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TYRE PRESSURE
If equipped with pneumatic tyres, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tyre.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tyre be
maintained in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres.
Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to
maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on pneumatic tyres at all times may result
in tyre and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your Travel Scooter's tyres for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your Travel Scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can have the tube
replaced. If your Travel Scooter is equipped with a solid tyre insert, either the solid insert or the entire
wheel must be replaced depending on the model. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer for information
regarding replacement wheels for your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your Travel Scooter should only be serviced/replaced by a qualified
technician.
WARNING! Be sure that the key is removed from the key switch and the Travel Scooter
is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe
repair for solid tyres:
1. Remove the key from the key switch and
ensure your Travel Scooter is not in freewheel
mode.
2. Elevate the side of the Travel Scooter of which
you are removing the tyre. Place wooden blocks
under the frame to elevate the Travel Scooter.
3. Remove the drive wheel nut and washer from the
axle. See figure 28.
4. Pull the wheel off the axle.
5. Slide the new wheel onto the axle. Make sure the
the axle key is in the axle slot.
WARNING! Failure to ensure that the axle key is properly installed into the axle slot when
mounting the wheel can result in electronic brake failure, personal injury, and/or product
damage.
6. Reinstall the drive wheel nut and washer onto the axle and tighten.
WARNING! Make sure that both the nut and washer are reinstalled and tightened properly.
7. Remove the blocks from beneath the Travel Scooter.
