Main Circuit Breaker - Pride Mobility Vista Owner's Manual

Main Circuit Breaker

When the voltage in your Vista’s batteries becomes low or your Vista is heavily strained because of excessive loads
or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your Vista’s motor and electronics from damage.
n The main circuit breaker is mounted on the rear section of the Vista. See figure 7.
n The main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.
n When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your Vista is shut down.
n Allow a minute or so for your Vista’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 authorized Pride provider perform a load test on your Vista’s batteries.
n If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride provider for service.
Battery Charger Fuse
The fuse has been incorporated into your charger to protect it from damage in the event of an electrical problem.
If your charger fuse repeatedly blows, try plugging your Vista’s power charger cord into an outlet on a different
circuit.
n The fuse is located under a cap on the outside of the battery charger.
n The cap unscrews to allow access to the fuse.
n Unscrew the cap and replace the fuse if it has blown.
CAUTION! The replacement fuse must match the rating of the original fuse exactly. If you install a
fuse with an incorrect rating, you may damage the charger. Contact your authorized Pride provider
for fuse rating information.
Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you need or want to push your Vista for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode.
n The manual freewheel lever is located on the end of the motor/transaxle assembly at the right rear of the Vista. See
figure 7.
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 Vista.
n Push down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system and the brake system and to take your
Vista out of freewheel mode.
