V I I I . 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
Provider. 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, the entire wheel must be replaced. Contact your
authorised Pride Provider for information regarding replacement wheels for your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your Travel Scooter should only be serviced/replaced by an authorised
Pride Provider or qualified technician.
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 Provider.
EXTERIOR SURFACES

WARNING! Do not apply a rubber or vinyl conditioner on a Travel Scooter's vinyl seat or
floorboard mats; they will become dangerously slippery.

urethane paint. A light application of car wax will help the shroud retain its high gloss.

Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your Travel Scooter.
! If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on
your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or
premature deterioration of upholstery and/or Travel Scooter finishes.
