Page 5: Introduction
Exeter, PA 18643-2694 If you experience any problems with your Dynamo that you are not able to solve, or if you do not feel confident in your ability to perform any of the instructions contained in this manual, please contact your local Pride provider. -
Page 6: Safety
Simply take your time as you operate your Dynamo and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain. -
Page 7: Safety Precautions
However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will operate your Dynamo on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason, we also designed your Dynamo to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. - Page 8 Reduce your Dynamo’s speed when you are driving it around a corner. n Never drive your Dynamo across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill, and do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.

Page 9: Emi/Rfi
One precaution you can take against inadvertent motion of your Dynamo is to make certain that you or someone else is not the cause of the unintended motion. n Turn off your Dynamo by removing the key from the key switch when you are getting on or off of your Dynamo. - Page 10 What can I do to find out if my Dynamo is likely to be affected by EMI/RFI? If you have had your Dynamo for some time and have not experienced any unintended motion, it is not likely that you will have a problem in the future. However, it is always possible that EMI/RFI problems could arise if you are close to a radio wave source.
- Page 11 Be aware of nearby radio wave transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two- way radios. Try not to operate your Dynamo too close to those transmitters. For example, if you are on an electric scooter with a resistance level of at least 20 V/m, you should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-way radio and at least ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.

Page 18: Batteries And Charging
C H A R G I N G Your Dynamo uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an onboard 3 amp charging system designed for ease of use and convenience. See figure 7. - Page 19 Dynamo will be ready each morning to give you a “full day” of service. We recommend that you charge your Dynamo’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use. ü If you use your Dynamo once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
- Page 20 Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery. It may take a few days for the temperature of your Dynamo’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature.
- Page 21 88% of its peak performance level. 2. Operate your new Dynamo in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your Dynamo’s con- trols and have properly broken in your scooter’s batteries.

Page 22: Operation
Adjust the speed adjustment dial on the control console assembly to your desired speed. n Press your thumb against the appropriate throttle lever. n The electric brake automatically disengages and the Dynamo accelerates smoothly to the speed you preselected with the speed adjustment dial. - Page 23 Carefully and safely get out of the seat and stand to the side of your Dynamo. n You may, if you wish, leave the seat facing to the side to facilitate boarding your Dynamo the next time you are going to operate it.

Page 26: Disassembly And Assembly
No tools are required to disassemble or assemble your Dynamo. Always disassemble or assemble your Dynamo on a level, dry surface with sufficient room for you to work and move around your scooter. Keep in mind that the disassembled sections of the Dynamo take up more floor space than the assembled Dy- namo. - Page 27 D I S A S S E M B L Y A N D A S S E M B L Y FIGURE 17.

Do not put rubber conditioner on tire tread; this may cause the tires to become dangerously slippery.

BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS: n Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded. - Page 32 Once every year or so the chain should be lightly lubricated with wheel bearing grease.
