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 at your
authorised Pride Provider. 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 rating indicated on
each tyre.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating 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. Fail-
ure to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tyres at all times may
result in tyre and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your scooter's tyres for signs of wear.
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 scooter's vinyl seat or tyre
tread, as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your scooter.
Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your 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 scooter finishes.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
The battery terminals should face away from the seat post.
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 Provider repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insula-
tion that you find before using your scooter again.
PROHIBITED! Even though the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements
for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of damp-
ness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electri-
cal components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harnesses directly to detach them from the
scooter. Always grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to pre-
vent wire damage.
