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.
Failure 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.
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
Pride Provider or 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.
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 lug nuts. See figure 25.
4. Pull the wheel off of the axle.
5. Slide the new wheel back onto the axle.
6. Reinstall the lug nuts and ensure they are
tightened properly.
7. Remove the blocks from beneath the scooter.
