GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely
reading and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the
final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the
scooter user, who is capable of making such a decision, and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical
doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted
the scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride
Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to
practice operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as
a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living
activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which
you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as
you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed
to operating the scooter safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range
of accessories is available from Pride to further customize your power chair to better suit your needs and/
or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature,
part, or function of your scooter.
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by Pride. Do not use
accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter by any of its removable parts,
including the armrests, seat, or shroud. Pride recommends use of only solid, non-
removable frame components such as scooter securement points or the front and rear
frame weldments to lift or move your scooter.
WARNING! Lifting the scooter should be accomplished with no fewer than three people,
one at the front and two at the rear of the unit.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check
before each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
ꢀ Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated
on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires.
ꢀ Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
ꢀ Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
ꢀ Check the brakes.
ꢀ Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
TIRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least
once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth
operation of your scooter.
WARNING! It is critically 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 indicted on the pneumatic tires at
all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter tires from a regulated air source with an available
pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate
them, resulting in a burst tire.
NOTE: If the tire on your scooter lists the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to find
the bar or kPa rating: bar = psi x 0.06895; kPa = psi x 6.89476.
W EIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.
Keep in mind that the maximum weight capacity includes the combined weight of the user and any
accessories mounted to the scooter.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your scooter. Exceeding the
weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/
or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers on your
scooter may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe
access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good
cornering skills on your scooter.
ꢀ Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
ꢀ Take wide swings with your scooter around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooter’s rear wheels
will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
ꢀ When driving down a ramp, keep the scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent.
ꢀ Avoid sudden stops and starts.

I I . S A F E T Y
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and
then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the
slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline
faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control
lever. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in
freewheel mode, especially when seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the
face of the incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when
negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally
up or down an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e.,
areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than
those listed in the Product Specifications Sheet, do not, under any
circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications. Doing
so could cause instability in your scooter.
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do
not necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made,
not designed specifically for scooters.
Tests were conducted with the scooter’s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat base
to its farthest rearward position. Use the specification information as a guideline. Your scooter’s ability to
travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline,
and your scooter setup.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is listed in the
Product Specifications may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip.
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. (6.8 kg). Never fill the
front or rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs. (6.8 kg).

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 1 and 2. This shifts the center of
gravity of you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.
NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the
powered scooter may "roll back" approximately 12 in. (30.5 cm) before the brake engages. If the
throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may "roll back"
approximately 3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages.
Figure 1. Norm al Driving Position
Figure 2. Increased Stability Driving Position
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility
of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning),
uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction
(such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt
directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a
corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter
from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of
gravity. When using your scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
ꢀ Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the
center/stop position.
ꢀ Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or
when power is removed from the system for any reason.

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level
surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times
when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform
admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
ꢀ Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
ꢀ Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
ꢀ Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
ꢀ Do not use your scooter in fresh or salt water.
ꢀ Do not use your scooter at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean.
ꢀ If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADW AYS
WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be
aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter.
Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then
proceed with extreme caution.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is
inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb,
or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be
required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Even though your scooter may be capable of handling greater obstacles, Pride
recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than
2 in. (5 cm). Doing so could cause instability in your scooter.

INCLEMENT W EATHER PRECAUTIONS
Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If
suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your scooter, proceed to shelter at
the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your scooter before storing, charging, or operating your scooter.
PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery
surfaces can cause damage to the scooter and electrical system. Maintain and store
your scooter in a dry and clean condition.
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of
upholstered and non-upholstered items on the scooter, possibly resulting in skin
irritation. Exercise caution when using your scooter in extremely hot or cold conditions
or when exposing your scooter to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
FREEW HEEL MODE
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when engaged, allows the scooter to be pushed.
For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see III. “Your Scooter.”
WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
Stand to the side of the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on
a scooter to do this.
ꢀ
After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to
lock the brakes.
An added feature built into the scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the scooter against
gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
ꢀ If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the scooter’s controller activates regenerative
braking when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed.
In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.
ꢀ If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any
speed. This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever
inadvertently be released while driving the scooter.
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not disconnect the batteries when the scooter
is in freewheel mode as this may interfere with the function of the controller.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.
DOORS
ꢀ Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
ꢀ Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
ꢀ Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and
slowly backwards to pull the door open.

ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
ꢀ If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge
or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.
ꢀ Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
NOTE: If your scooter’s turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver
in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your scooter in
small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be transporting your scooter during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted
lift system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the
warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/
elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied
mobility device. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated on your scooter when
it is being used in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless:
ꢀ
ꢀ
That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer.
You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings,
instructions, specifications, and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.
WARNING! Always turn off the power to the unit when you are being transferred via an
elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental throttle control lever contact,
resulting in unintended movement and personal injury or product damage.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and
wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are
unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques
and avoid lifting beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables
must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must
be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps should be
installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag. Contact your local
waste disposal agency or your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling,
which is our recommended course of action.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact.

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The
scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries removed
and/or properly secured. In addition, all removable scooter parts, including the armrests, seat, and shroud
should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
WARNING! Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not
designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in
a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts
fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly secured when it is
being transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective caps
should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any
flammable or combustible items.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety
tips when getting onto and off of your scooter:
ꢀ Remove the key from the key switch.
ꢀ Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See III. “Your Scooter.”
ꢀ Make certain that the seat is secured into place.
ꢀ Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the scooter easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the
scooter from tipping.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the scooter armrests and do not use the
armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the
scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the scooter and personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the
scooter to tip.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental throttle
control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to maintain
a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Pride recommends that the scooter user determine
his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified attendant.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
scooter deck or from either side of the scooter. Movements such as these may change your
center of gravity and the weight distribution of the scooter and cause your scooter to tip.
PROHIBITED! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose
fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.
POSITIONING BELTS
Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for deter-
mining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your scooter safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your scooter, make sure it
is fastened securely.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.
They are recharged by an off-board charging system.
ꢀ Charge your scooter’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.
ꢀ Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the
approximate strength of your batteries using a color code. From
right to left, green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow
indicates a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate
recharge is necessary. See figure 10. To ensure the highest
accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while
operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to
the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and
less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly
zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooter’s
batteries, but does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging
instructions.
Can I use a different charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size, and
chemical formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your scooter’s
batteries we recommend only use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your Pride product.
Any charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.
What if my scooter’s batteries won’t charge?
ꢀ Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
ꢀ Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness
leading to the charger.
ꢀ Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.

I V . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooter’s batteries:
ꢀ All day scooter use on a daily basis.
ꢀ Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your
scooter’s batteries. We designed the off-board charger so that it will not overcharge your scooter’s
batteries. However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough
and if you do not charge them on a regular basis.
Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging.
ꢀ If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your scooter
will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your scooter’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours
after daily use.
ꢀ If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours
at a time.
ꢀ Keep your scooter’s batteries fully charged.
ꢀ Avoid deeply discharging your scooter’s batteries.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your
scooter’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your scooter and batteries from extreme heat
or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme
temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable
performance and limited service life.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves.
Often, you will face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of
which affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining
the maximum range per battery charge.
ꢀ Always fully charge your scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.
ꢀ Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
ꢀ Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.
ꢀ Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
ꢀ Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
ꢀ Avoid stop-and-go driving.
What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-
cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-
Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.

Figure 13. Battery W iring Diagram
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical
technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-
cadmium batteries (nicads), and other common
battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically
designed to provide power, drain down their charge,
and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to
provide batteries that best suit your scooter’s specific
electrical demands. Fresh batteries are shipped fully
charged to our customers. During shipping, the
batteries may encounter temperature extremes that
can influence their initial performance. Heat
diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the
available power and extends the time needed to
recharge the battery.
Figure 14. Battery Rem oval/Installation
It may take a few days for the temperature of your
scooter’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new
room or ambient temperature. More importantly, it
takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed
by full recharging) to establish the critical chemical
balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak
performance and long life.

Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and
service life:
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about
88% of its peak performance level.
2. Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far
from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s con-
trols and have properly broken in your scooter’s batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your scooter again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak
performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.

Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the
problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these
problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can
no longer hold a charge.
DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODES
The diagnostic fault codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly
and easily. A diagnostic flash code will flash from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed
below develops. Your scooter will also emit a beep code to indicate the system fault.
NOTE: Your scooter will not run unless the fault code condition is resolved and the scooter has been
turned off, then turned back on.

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.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tires, and trim can benefit from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter’s vinyl seat or tire
tread, as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
ꢀ Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your scooter.
Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your 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 scooter finishes.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
ꢀ Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
ꢀ The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
ꢀ The battery terminals should face towards the outside of the scooter.
W IRING HARNESSES
ꢀ Regularly check all wiring connections.
ꢀ Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
ꢀ Have your authorized Pride Provider repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or
insulation that you find before using your scooter again.
PROHIBITED! Even though the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements
for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of
dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check
electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harnesses directly to detach them from the scooter.
Always grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to prevent wire
damage.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ A light application of car wax will help the shrouds retain their high gloss.

FUSE REPLACEMENT
In the event a fuse should cease to work:
1. Remove the fuse by pulling it out of its slot.
2. Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See figures 26 and 26A.
3. Insert a new fuse of the same rating.
WARNING! The replacement fuse must exactly match the rating of the fuse being

Figure 26. W orking Fuse
Figure 26A. Blown Fuse (Replace)
NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the periodic maintenance, assembly, or disassembly of the
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 authorized Pride Provider.
STORING YOUR SCOOTER
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
1. Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
2. Disconnect the batteries from the scooter.
3. Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
4. Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a
frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited
service life. It is recommended that you charge the scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of
prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise it off of the ground during
periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots
developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Your scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of
packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and
polyurethane materials.
