Care And Maintenance - Pride Mobility Bebop Owner's Manual

X I . C A R E
Your PTV 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 The SCOOTER Store.
The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TIRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR
n Regularly inspect your PTV's tires for signs of wear.
n Use a rubber conditioner on your PTV's tire sidewalls to help to preserve them.
WARNING! Do not apply rubber conditioner on tire tread; this may cause the tires to become
dangerously slippery.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
n Bumpers and trim benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not apply a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the PTV’s vinyl seat or floorboard mats; they
will become dangerously slippery.
n The PTV's body is made from durable ABS plastic and coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
n A light application of car wax will help the body retain its high gloss.
WIRING HARNESS
n Regularly check the front-to-rear harness insulation for wear or damage. If damage exists, call The SCOOTER
Store service line before using the PTV again.
n Have The SCOOTER Store repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you find
before using your PTV again.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
n These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONICS
n Keep these areas free of moisture.
n If any of these items do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before operating your PTV again.
STORAGE
If you plan on not using your PTV for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
n Remove the battery pack.
n Store your PTV in a warm, dry environment.
n Avoid storing your PTV where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! If your PTV's batteries become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Frozen batteries
should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your PTV to raise it off of the
ground. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the
tires contacting the ground.
