Care And Maintenance; Wheel Replacement; Cleaning And Disinfection - Pride Mobility Travel Pal Owner's Manual

I X . C A R E
Your Travel 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 with your authorised Pride
Dealer. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TYRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR
! Regularly inspect your Travel Scooter's tyres for signs of wear.
! Use a rubber conditioner on your Travel Scooter's tyre sidewalls to help to preserve them.
WARNING! Do not apply rubber conditioner on tyre tread; this may cause the tyres to
become dangerously slippery.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT

If your Travel Scooter is equipped with a solid tyre insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be
replaced depending on model. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer for information regarding replacement wheels
for your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Prevent personal injury! Completely deflate pneumatic tires before dismantling
the rim or attempting repair.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut, then remove the tyre. If
any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode, possibly
resulting in personal injury.
NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the periodic maintenance, assembly or disassembly of the Travel 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 authorised Pride Dealer.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
! Bumpers and trim benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not apply a rubber or vinyl conditioner on a Travel Scooter's vinyl seat or
floorboard mats; they will become dangerously slippery.
! The Travel Scooter shroud is made from durable ABS plastic and coated with an advanced formula
urethane paint.
! A light application of car wax will help the shroud retain its high gloss.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

! Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your scooter. Avoid
using products that may scratch the surface of your scooter.
! If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on
your product before application.
WARNING! Prevent personal injury and product damage! Follow all safety instructions for
the proper use of the disinfectant before applying it to your product.
