EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tyres and trim can benefit from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Travel Scooter's vinyl seat or
tyre tread. They will become dangerously slippery.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your Travel
Scooter. Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your Travel Scooter.
If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for
use on your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or
cleaning agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin
irritation or premature deterioration of upholstery and/or Travel Scooter finishes.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and are not corroded.
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 Travel Scooter again.
PROHIBITED! Even though the Travel Scooter has passed the necessary testing
requirements for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from
sources of dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and
incontinence. Check electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace
as necessary.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
The shroud pieces are formed from durable ABS plastic and are coated with an advanced formula urethane
paint. A light application of car wax will help the shrouds retain their high gloss.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor/transaxle assembly. They should be inspected
periodically for wear by your authorised Pride Dealer.
CONSOLE, CHARGER AND REAR ELECTRONICS
Keep these areas free of moisture.
Allow these areas to dry thoroughly if they have been exposed to moisture before operating your
Travel Scooter again.
NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the periodic maintenance, assembly or disassembly of the
Travel Scooter must be replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should not be reused as it may
cause damage to the nylon insert, resulting in a less secure fit. Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are
available at local hardware stores or through your authorised Pride Dealer.
