NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the periodic maintenance, assembly, or disassembly of the
scooter must be replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should not be reused as it may cause
damage to the nylon insert, resulting in a less secure fit. Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are available
at local hardware stores or through your authorized Provider.
STORING YOUR SCOOTER
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
 Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
 Disconnect the batteries from the scooter.
 Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
 Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
 Recommended storage temperature: -104ºF/-75ºC to 158ºF/70ºC.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a
frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited
service life. It is recommended that you charge the scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of
prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise it off of the ground during
periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots
developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Your scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of pack-
aging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and poly-
urethane materials.
