WHEELS AND SUSPENSION
According to personal needs and lifestyle, you may wish to adjust the
height of the anti-tips. By raising the anti-tip wheels, ground clearance
increases, as does your Blast's ability to "wheelie" for obstacle climb-
ing. Lowering the anti-tip wheels decreases the ground clearance, as
well as limits rearward pitching, increasing stability.
To adjust anti-tip wheels:
1. Remove the anti-tip axle bolt and nylon spacers using two, ½-in.
spanneres. See figure 13.
2. Relocate anti-tip wheel to one of the four adjustment holes, as
desired.
3. Replace the wheel, placing the nylon washers on each side of the
wheel, then replacing the axle bolt through the center.
4. Tighten the axle bolt and nut so that the wheel spins freely but does
not wobble side-to-side.
5. Repeat process on other anti-tip.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Like any motorised vehicle, your Blast requires simple preventive maintenance that can extend its service life. You can
perform some of these checks. But other checks require assistance from an authorised Pride provider. Preventive mainte-
nance is very important. If you follow the preventive maintenance guidelines in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure
that your Blast gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your Blast's care or operation, contact
your authorised Pride provider.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
l
Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
l
Keep the controller clean.
l
Check all controller connectors on the utility tray to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.
l
When the battery condition meter is completely lit, the batteries are fully charged and the controller and the
electrical system are OK.
l
If one red bar on the battery condition meter is blinking slowly, the batteries are low and need to be charged, but
the controller and the electrical system are OK.
l
If the battery condition meter is blinking rapidly, the controller has detected a fault in either its own circuits or in
your Blast's circuits. Refer to your controller insert.
l
Make sure the drive tyres are inflated to 30 - 35 psi.
WARNING! Overinflating tyres can cause them to explode and can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose.
Use a rubber conditioner on the tyre sidewalls to help preserve them. Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the
tyres; doing so may make the tyres slippery and cause your Blast to skid.
The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-
gloss appearance.
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery well,
with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the correct wiring layout.
All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
