Care And Maintenance - Pride Victory Owner's Manual

X I . C A R E
Your Victory 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
n For optimum scooter performance we recommend that the tyre pressure be maintained at 30-35 psi (2-
2.5 bar).
WARNING! Overinflating a tyre can cause it to explode.
TYRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR
Regularly inspect your Victory’s tyres for signs of wear.
n Use a rubber conditioner on your Victory’s tyres to help to preserve them.
WARNING! Do not put rubber conditioner on tread area of tyres; the tyres may become
dangerously slippery.
REMOVABLE FLOORMAT
n Your Victory’s carpet floormat is held in place with reusable fasteners. It can be removed, cleaned, and
reinstalled as necessary.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
n Bumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
n Do not apply a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Victory’s floormat or vinyl seat; they may become
dangerously slippery.
TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
n Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
n The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
n The battery terminals should face the rear of the Victory.
WIRING HARNESSES
n Regularly check all wiring connections.
n Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power lead, for wear or damage.
n Repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you find before using your Victory
again.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
n The front console shroud, front shroud, and the rear shroud are formed from durable ABS plastic and
coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
n A light application of car wax helps the shrouds retain their high gloss.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
n These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER MODULE
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
Victory again.
STORAGE
n See “How should I store my Victory and its batteries?” in V. “Batteries and Charging.”
