Care And Maintenance - Pride Victory Viper-3 Owner's Manual

I X . C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
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
authorised Pride Dealer. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TYRE PRESSURE
n If equipped with pneumatic tyres, always maintain a proper 2-2.5 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure.
WARNING! It is important that 2-2.5 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained in
pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure
may result in loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2-2.5
bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or
wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
n Regularly inspect your scooter’s tyres for signs of wear.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tyres, trim, and the tiller boot can benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl
conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter’s vinyl seat or tyre
tread. They will become dangerously slippery and result in personal injury and/or damage
to your scooter.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
n Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
n The batteries must sit flat in the battery
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 Dealer repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation
that you find before using your scooter again.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
n The front tiller 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
These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected periodi-
cally for wear by your authorised Pride Dealer.
