Care And Maintenance; Tyre Pressure - Pride Hurricane Owner's Manual

X I . C A R E
Your Hurricane 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
provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.

TYRE PRESSURE

n For optimum Hurricane performance, we recommend that the tyre pressure be maintained at 30-35 psi.
WARNING! Do not exceed 35 psi; overinflating a tyre can cause it to explode.
n Regularly inspect your Hurricane’s tyres for signs of wear.
n Use a rubber conditioner on your Hurricane’s tyres to help preserve them.
n Do not put rubber conditioner on tyre tread; this may cause the tyres to become dangerously slippery.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
n Bumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Hurricane’s vinyl seat or tyre tread; they
will 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 Hurricane.
WIRING HARNESSES
n Regularly check all wiring connections.
n Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power lead, for wear or damage.
n Have your authorised Pride provider repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that
you find before using your Hurricane again.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
n The front console shroud, front shroud, and the rear shroud are formed from durable ABS plastic and are
coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
n A light application of car wax will help the shrouds retain their high gloss.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
n These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
MOTOR BRUSHES
n The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected periodically
for wear by your autorised Pride provider.
CONTROL CONSOLE ASSEMBLY, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONICS MODULE
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 Hurricane
again.
