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
authorized Pride Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.

TIRE PRESSURE

If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on
each tire.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire
be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your
tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure
to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tires at all times may
result in tire and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your scooter's tires for signs of wear.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT

If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube replaced.
If your scooter is equipped with a solid tire insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be
replaced depending on the model. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for information regarding
replacement wheels for your scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your scooter should only be serviced/replaced by an authorized
Pride Provider or qualified technician.
WARNING! Be sure that the key is removed from the key switch and the scooter is not in
freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe
repair for solid tires:
1. Remove the key from the key switch.

removing the tire. Place wooden blocks under
the frame to elevate the scooter.

4. Pull the wheel off of the axle.
5. Slide the new wheel onto the axle.
6. Reinstall the lug nuts and ensure they are tight-
ened properly.
