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
n If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain a proper 30-35 psi tire pressure.
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 scooter.
n Regularly inspect your scooter’s tires for signs of wear.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tires, trim ,and the tiller boot can benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter’s vinyl seat, floorboard,
or tire tread. They will become dangerously slippery and result in personal injury and/or
damage to your scooter.
REMOVABLE FLOOR MAT
n Your scooter’s carpet floor mat is held in place with reusable fasteners. It can be removed, cleaned, and
reinstalled as necessary.
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 scooter.
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 scooter again.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
n 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.
n A light application of car wax will help the shrouds retain their high gloss.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected periodically for
wear by your authorized Pride Provider.
