OFF-BOARD BATTERY CHARGER
The off-board battery charger, when plugged into the
off-board battery charger port and a standard wall out-
let, charges the scooter’s batteries. See figure 8.
Figure 8. Off-Board Battery Charger
BATTERY CHARGING COMPONENTS
The batteries, off-board battery charger port, and main circuit breaker (reset button) make up the battery charging
components. See figure 7.
Batteries (Not Shown)
The batteries store the electrical energy needed to power the scooter. The scooter is equipped with an easy to
remove battery pack located within the battery compartment. To view the battery pack, remove the battery
compartment lid.
Off-board Battery Charger Port
The off-board battery charger plugs into your scooter by means of the off-board battery charger port.
Main Circuit Breaker (Reset Button)
When the voltage in your scooter’s batteries becomes low or the scooter is heavily strained because of excessive
loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect the motor and electronics from damage.
n The main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.
n When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your scooter shuts down.
n Allow a minute or two for your scooter’s electronics to “rest.”
n Push in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker.
n If the main circuit breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often. You may also
need to have your authorized Pride Provider perform a load test on your scooter’s batteries.
n If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride Provider for service.
