GENERAL  
WARNING! 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 the user 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 your Pride provider to further customize your Scooter 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. Unauthorized  
modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.

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. For details on how to perform  
these necessary inspections, see XII. “Care and Maintenance.”  
Perform the following inspections prior to using your Scooter:  
n Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).  
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.  
n Check all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly.  
n Check the brakes.  
n Check battery charge.  
WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at  
all times. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure in pneumatic tires at all times may result in  
catastrophic tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your  
Scooter.  
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Scooter. Carrying passengers on your Scooter may  
result in personal injury and/or property damage.  
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride provider for assistance.  
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS  
Your Scooter is rated for a 300-lb. maximum weight limit.  
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and  
damage to your Scooter. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage  
resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.  
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.  
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.  
n Take wide swings with your Scooter’s front wheel(s) 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.  
n When driving down a ramp, keep the Scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to  
ensure a safely controlled descent. See V. Your Legend.”  
n 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 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! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered  
with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).  
WARNING! When on any sortof an incline or decline, never place the Scooter in manual freewheel  
mode while seated on it or standing next to it.  
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all handicap public access ramps in the  
United States are required to have a maximum slope of five degrees. Therefore, Pride recommends that the  
maximum degree of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your Scooter does not exceed  
those shown in figures 1 and 2.  
These tests were conducted with the Legend’s seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the  
seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Legend’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.

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 3 and 4. This shifts the center of  
gravity of you and your Legend toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.  
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this  
manual.  
FIGURE 3. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION  
FIGURE 4. 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. When using your Scooter at higher  
speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid  
personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.

BRAKING INFORMATION  
Your Scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:  
1. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the  
center/stop position; and  
2. 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.  
n Reduce your Scooter’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.  
n Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.  
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.  
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.  
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)  
Proceed with extreme caution when driving 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. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.  
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Scooter proceed backwards down any step, curb, or other  
obstacle. This may cause theScooter to tip and cause personal injury.

PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS  
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.  
NOTE: Safety accessories like reflectors, fluorescent flags, and various lighting packages are available to  
order from your authorized Pride provider.  
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your Scooter in icy or slippery conditions or  
on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or  
adversely affect the performance and safety of your Scooter.  
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not expose your Scooter to any type of moisture at any  
time (rain, snow, mist, or wash). Such exposure can damage your Scooter. Never operate your  
Scooter if it has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.  
MANUAL FREEWHEEL MODE  
Your Scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that when pulled up allows the Scooter to be  
pushed. For more information about how to place your Scooter into and out of manual freewheel mode, see  
V. Your Legend.”  
WARNING! Do not use your Scooter in manual freewheel mode without an attendant present.  
Personal injury may result.  
WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your Scooter in manual freewheel mode while  
seated on it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.  
WARNING! Do not place your Scooter in manual freewheel mode while on an incline. The Scooter  
could roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.  
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 pneumatic tires be inflated to 30-35 psi. Do not  
underinflate or overinflate your tires. Improper tire pressure may result in catastrophic tire and/or  
wheel failure. Serious personal injury and/or property damage may result.  
WARNING! Inflate your Scooter drive tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure  
gauge. Minimum air pressure for Scooter drive tires is 30-35 psi. Inflating your tires from an  
unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire and/or personal injury.

WARNING! Do not use your Scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to  
yourself and to others and damage your Scooter.  
DOORS  
n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.  
n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.  
n 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 elevator door(s).  
n 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.  
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.  
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS  
If you will be traveling with your Scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in  
transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety  
information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.  
BATTERIES  
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.  
For more information about your Scooter’s batteries, see VI. “ Batteries and Charging.”  
WARNING! (32 AH) Scooter batteries weigh 25 lbs. each. If you are unable to lift that much weight,  
be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity can result in personal injury.  
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.  
Wash hands after handling.  
WARNING! Always protect the batteries fromfreezing and never chargeafrozen battery. Charging  
a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.  
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT  
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time,

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT  
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport  
a person while seated in a Scooter.  
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. Personal injury and/or  
property damage may result.  
WARNING! Always be sure your Scooter and its batteries are properly secured when it is being  
transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.  
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:  
n Power down your Scooter. See VII. “Operation.”  
n Ensure that your Scooter is not in manual freewheel mode. See V. Your Legend.”  
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.  
n The seat armrests can be flipped up to make getting on and off the Scooter easier.  
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the Scooter seat to prevent the Scooter  
from tipping and causing injury.  
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the  
Scooter to tip and cause personal injury.  
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the Scooter to  
tip and cause personal injury.

REACHING AND BENDING  
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Scooter. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated  
on your Scooter, 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 healthcare professional.  
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by  
reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity  
and the weight distribution of the Scooter and cause your Scooter to tip, possibly resulting in  
personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.  
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS  
The Scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her Scooter.This includes awareness  
of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical

EMI/RFI WARNINGS  
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can  
cause unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy  
(EM). When electromagnetic energy adversely affects the operation of an electrical device, that adverse  
effect is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).  
EMI/RFI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)  
The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the  
risk that EMI/RFI will adversely affect your Scooter.  
Where do radio waves come from?  
Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-  
talkies and CBs), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links,  
microwave sources, and paging transmitters. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). EM  
is more intense closer to transmitting antennas, which are sources of emission. The greater the transmission  
strength, the greater the concern to electric mobility vehicle users.  
If EMI/RFI affects my Scooter, what kind of motion should I expect?  
This is difficult to predict. The answer would depend on a number of factors:  
n The strength of the radio waves.  
n The construction of your particular Scooter.  
n The location of your Scooter (whether it is on the level ground or on an incline).  
n Whether or not your Scooter is in motion.  
The motion of any electric Scooter affected by EMI/RFI can be erratic. The Scooter may come to a sudden  
stop or move in an uncontrolled manner.Also, it is possible for EMI/RFI to release the brakes of an electric  
Scooter. Some intense EMI/RFI can even damage the control system components of an electric Scooter.  
Is there any way to know for certain whether or not radio waves are the cause of any unintended Scooter  
motion?  
Unfortunately, EMI/RFI may be difficult to recognize, because the signals from radio sources are invisible  
and may be intermittent. However, the FDArecommends that you report all incidents of unintended motion  
or unintended brake release of your electric Scooter to its manufacturer and, if possible, determine whether  
or not there was a radio wave source nearby at the time of the incident.  
One precaution you can take against unintended motion of your Scooter is to make certain that you or  
someone else is not the cause of the unintended motion.  
n Turn off your Scooter by removing the key from the key switch when you are mounting or dismounting  
your Scooter.  
n Never leave the key in the key switch of an unattended Scooter.  
n By following these steps, you greatly reduce the risk of you or anyone else inadvertently bumping the  
throttle control levers and causing the Scooter to move unintentionally.  
Has anyone been injured by the erratic, unintended motion of an electric Scooter?  
The FDA has reports of injuries that resulted from uncontrolled motion of electric Scooters, but it is not  
clear just how many of those injuries were actually caused by EMI/RFI.

I I I . E M I / R F I  
Are all electric Scooters susceptible to EMI/RFI?  
Each make and model of electric Scooter differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. Every Scooter has a  
particular level of resistance to EMI/RFI. This resistance is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher  
resistance level offers greater protection against EMI/RFI. In other words, an electric Scooter with a high  
resistance level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio source than is an electric Scooter with a low  
resistance level.  
What is the FDA doing about the problem?  
The FDA has written to electric Scooter manufacturers and requested that those manufacturers test their  
new Scooter models to be certain that they provide a reasonable degree of resistance against EMI/RFI. The  
FDA has stated that all newly manufactured electric Scooter models should have a resistance level of at  
least 20 V/m. This level of resistance provides a reasonable degree of protection against the common  
sources of EMI/RFI.  
The FDA has also requested or recommended that:  
n Electric Scooter manufacturers clearly label new products with their resistance level or state that the  
resistance level is not known.  
n The labeling or informational material supplied with new electric Scooters must explain what the  
resistance level means and warn users about the possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.  
n Electric Scooter manufacturers undertake an educational program to inform electric Scooter users and  
their caregivers about the problems associated with EMI/RFI and about the actions they can take to  
minimize the risk of EMI/RFI.  
n While there is no exact way to tell if your Scooter is totally safe, an immunity level of 20 V/m (May  
1994) is generally achievable and useful. This product has been tested and passed at an immunity level  
of 20 V/m.  
What can I do to find out if my Scooter is likely to be affected by EMI/RFI?  
If you have had your Scooter for some time and have not experienced any unintended motion, it is not  
likely that you will have a problem in the future. However, it is always possible that EMI/RFI problems  
could arise if you are close to a source of radio waves. Therefore, it is very important for you to be alert to  
this possibility. The Scooter meets or exceeds a resistance level of at least 20 V/m.  
What can I do to reduce the risk of my Scooter being affected by EMI/RFI?  
Here are some precautions you can take:  
n Do not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios  
and cellular phones, while your Scooter is turned on.  
n Be aware of nearby radio wave transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-  
way radios. Try not to operate your Scooter too close to those transmitters. For example, if you are on  
an electric Scooter with a resistance level of at least 20 V/m, you should remain at least three feet from  
a hand-held two-way radio and at least ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.  
n Be aware that adding accessories and/or components, or modifying your Scooter in any way, may  
change its EMI/RFI resistance level and may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave  
sources.  
What should I do if my Scooter moves unexpectedly?  
If unintended motion or unintended brake release occurs, turn off your Scooter (by removing the key) as  
soon as it is safe to do so.  
If my Scooter moves unintentionally, where should I report the incident?  
Call your authorized Pride provider.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)  
How does the charger work?  
When your Legend’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 Legend’s batteries,  
but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Legend’s batteries for more than  
24 consecutive hours.  
What if my Legend’s batteries won’t charge?  
n Ensure that the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.  
n Ensure that both black and white battery harnesses are plugged into each other.  
n Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.  
Can I use a different charger?  
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your Legend’s batteries, we prefer and highly  
recommend simultaneous charging of both batteries with the onboard battery charger.  
How often must I charge the batteries?  
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Legend’s batteries:  
n All day Scooter use on a daily basis.  
n Infrequent or sporadic Scooter use.  
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your  
Legend’s batteries. We designed the onboard 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 five guidelines below will provide safe and reliable  
battery operation and charging.  
n If you use your Legend daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day.Your Legend will  
be ready each morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend that you charge your Legend’s  
batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.  
n If you use your Legend once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a  
time.  
n Keep your Legend’s batteries fully charged.  
n Avoid deeply discharging your Legend’s batteries.  
n Do not charge your Legend’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.

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.  
n Always fully charge your Legend’s batteries prior to daily use.  
n Maintain 30-35 psi (pounds per square inch) in each tire.  
n Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.  
n Limit your baggage weight to essential items.  
n Try to maintain an even speed while your Legend is in motion.  
n 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 sealed lead-acid and gel cell  
are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable  
caps.  
CAUTION! Do not remove the caps from sealed batteries. Water cannot be added to sealed  
batteries. Cap removal voids the battery warranty and may cause damage to the batteries and to  
your Legend.  
Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries:  
Type:  
Deep-cycle (sealed lead-acid or gel cell)  
Size:  
U-1  
Voltage:  
Amperage:  
12 volts each  
32 AH (amp hours)  
To change a battery in your Legend:  
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.  
Wash hands after handling.  
1. Remove the seat and rear shroud. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”  
2. Disconnect the battery tie-down strap.  
3. Disconnect the black and white battery harness.  
4. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals.  
5. Remove the old battery.  
6. Place a new battery in the battery well.  
7. Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.  
8. Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.  
9. Reconnect the black and white battery harness.  
10. Reconnect the battery tie-down strap.  
11. Reinstall the rear shroud and seat.

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 Legend’s specific  
electrical demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and 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.  
It may take a few days for the temperature of your Legend’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 Legend’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 Legend 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 Legend’s controls 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 Legend 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.  
How can I ensure maximum battery life?  
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Legend’s  
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently  
charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and  
limited service life.

How should I store my Legend and its batteries?  
If you plan on not using your Legend for an extended period of time, it is best to:  
n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.  
n Disconnect both black and white battery harnesses.  
n Store your Legend in a warm, dry environment.  
n Avoid storing your Legend where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.  
WARNING! If your Legend’s batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold or  
frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.  
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Legend to raise the  
Scooter off of the ground. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing  
on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.  
What about public transportation?  
If you intend to use public transportation with your Scooter, you must contact the transportation provider in  
advance to determine their specific requirements.

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.  
What if all the systems on my Legend seem to be “dead”?  
n Make certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.  
n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”  
n Push in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See V. Your Legend.”  
n Make certain that both black and white battery harnesses are firmly connected. See IX. “Disassembly  
and Assembly.”  
n Make sure all battery cables are connected to the battery terminals and the wing nuts are tightened.  
n Make sure that the front-to-rear harness is firmly connected. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”  
What if the motor runs but my Legend does not move?  
n Your Legend was probably left in manual freewheel mode.  
n When the manual freewheel lever is pulled up, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle  
is cut.  
n Push down the manual freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Legend. See V. Your  
Legend.”  
What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? See V. Your Legend.”  
n Charge the Legend’s batteries more frequently. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”  
n If the problem continues, have both of your Legend’s batteries load tested by your authorized Pride  
provider.  
n Or, battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores.  
n Follow the directions supplied with the load tester.  
n See VI. “Batteries and Charging” or IV. Specifications” for information about your Legend’s bat-  
tery type.  
What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press  
my Legend’s throttle control lever? See V. Your Legend.”  
n Fully charge your Legend’s batteries. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”  
n Have your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.  
n Or, see the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.  
If you experience any problems with your Legend that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your  
authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.

Your Legend 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  
n For optimum Scooter performance we recommend that the tire pressure be maintained at 30-35 psi.  
WARNING! Do not exceed 35 psi; overinflating a tire can cause it to explode.  
n Regularly inspect your Legend’s tires for signs of wear.  
n Use a rubber conditioner on your Legend’s tires to help to preserve them.  
n Do not put rubber conditioner on tire tread; this may cause the tires to become dangerously slippery.  
EXTERIOR SURFACES  
n Bumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.  
WARNING! Do not apply a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Scooter’s vinyl seat or tire tread; they  
will become dangerously slippery.  
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS  
n Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.  
n The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.  
n The battery terminals should face the rear of the Legend.  
WIRING  
n Regularly check all wiring connections.  
n Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.  
n Have your authorized Pride provider repair or replace any damaged harness, connection, or insulation  
that you find before using your Legend again.  
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS  
n The control console assembly shroud, front shroud, and the rear shroud are formed from durable ABS  
plastic and 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  
n These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.  
MOTOR BRUSHES  
n The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected  
periodically for wear by your authorized Pride provider.  
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY  
n Keep these areas free of moisture.  
n If any of these items do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before operating your  
Legend again.
