Motor/Transaxle Assembly
The motor/transaxle assembly consists of a geared transmission and differential. This one piece, direct drive, fully
sealed assembly provides quiet operation with maximum power and long life. See figure 8.
Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your scooter. Do not, under any circumstances,
remove the anti-tip wheels from your scooter. See figure 8.
WARNING! Do not remove the anti-tip wheels or modify your scooter in any way that is not
authorized by Pride.
Main Circuit Breaker
When the voltage in your scooter’s batteries becomes low or your scooter is heavily strained because of excessive
loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your scooter’s motor and electronics from damage.
n The main circuit breaker is mounted on the rear section of the scooter. See figure 8.
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 is shut down.
n Allow a minute or so for your scooter’s electronics to “rest.”
n Push in the reset button to reset the breaker.
n If the 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.
Ammeter
During charging, the ammeter indicates the charging rate, or how hard the charger is working to charge the scooter’s
batteries. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you need or want to push your scooter for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode.
n The manual freewheel lever is located on the end of the motor/transaxle assembly at the right rear of the scooter.
n Pull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system.
n You will then be able to push your scooter.
n Push down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system and the brake system and to take your
scooter out of freewheel mode.

WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
n Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
n Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
n Stand behind the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a
n scooter to do this.
n After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock
the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
