Care And Maintenance; Tyre Pressure; Wheel Replacement; Exterior Surfaces - Pride Mobility Ranger Owner's Manual

I X . C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
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 Dealer. 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 for pneumatic tyres.
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 pneumatic 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 Dealer for information regarding replace-
ment wheels for your scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your scooter should only be serviced/replaced by an authorised
Pride Dealer or qualified technician.
WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tyres before dismantling the rim or attempting
repair.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

Bumpers, tyres, trim and the tiller boot can benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl
conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter's vinyl seat, floorboard
or tyre tread, as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
The battery terminals should face the rear of the scooter.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
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.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed and require no subsequent lubrication.
