Care And Maintenance; Tire Pressure - Pride Dynamo Owner's Manual

X I I . C A R E
Your Dynamo 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
authorized Pride dealer. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.

TIRE PRESSURE:

n We recommend that the tire pressure be maintained at 30 psi. For optimum scooter performance, do
not exceed that pressure; overinflating a tire can cause it to explode.
TIRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR:
n Regularly inspect your Dynamo’s tires for signs of wear.
n Use a rubber conditioner on your Dynamo’s tires to help to preserve them.
n Do not put rubber conditioner on tire tread; this may cause the tires to become dangerously slippery.
EXTERIOR SURFACES:
n Bumpers also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
n Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Dynamo’s floormat or vinyl seat; they may become
dangerously slippery.
BATTERY 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 Dynamo.
WIRING HARNESSES:
n Regularly check all wiring connections.
n Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
n Repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you find before using your
Dynamo again.
n These items are all prelubricated, and require no subsequent lubrication.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY:
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
Dynamo again.
STORAGE:
See VI. “Batteries and Charging.” and reefer to “How should I store my Dynamo and its batteries?”
AXLE BEARINGS:
n These items are all prelubricated, and require no subsequent lubrication.
