WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres and
you have a flat tyre, you can have the tube replaced.
If your 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 Provider for information regarding
replacement wheels for your scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your scooter
should only be serviced/replaced by
an authorised
qualified technician.
WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tyres before dismantling the rim or attempting repair.
WARNING! Be sure that the key is removed from the key switch and the scooter is not in
freewheel mode before performing this procedure repair.
WARNING! When changing a pneumatic tyre, remove only the lug nuts, 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.
2. Elevate the side of the scooter of which you are removing the tyre. Place wooden blocks under the
frame to elevate the 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 back onto the axle. Make sure the axle key is in the axle slot.
WARNING! Ensure that the axle key is properly installed into the axle slot when mounting
the wheel. If not installed securely, the braking system is disengaged which may cause
personal injury and/or product damage may result.
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 scooter.

The front tiller shroud, front shroud and the rear shroud 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.

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
