Your Hurricane PMV 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 Hurricane PMV performance we recommend that the tire pressure be maintained at 30-35 psi.
WARNING! It is important that 30-35 psi tire pressure 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 30-35 psi tire pressure in
pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to your PMV.
n Regularly inspect your Hurricane’s tires for signs of wear.
n Use a rubber conditioner on your Hurricane’s tires to help to preserve them.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
n Bumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Hurricane PMV’s vinyl seat,
floorboard, 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 Hurricane PMV.
WIRING HARNESSES
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 connector, connection, or insulation that
you find before using your Hurricane PMV again.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
n The front console 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 Pride Provider.
