! Always fully charge your scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.
! Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire for pneumatic tires.
! Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.
! Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
! Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
! 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 AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-
cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and
wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or
Gel-cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and
amp-hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in
the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and
capacities.
WARNING! Contact your authorized Pride Provider if you have any questions
regarding the batteries in your scooter.
WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.
WARNING! The batteries on your scooter should only be serviced or replaced
by an authorized Pride Provider or a qualified technician.
To change the batteries in your scooter:
1. Remove the seat.
2. Remove the battery packs from the scooter. Always remove the left side battery pack first. See VII. “Disas-
sembly and Assembly.”
3. Remove the 7 screws from the underside of each pack.
4. Arrange each pack so the handle is facing up, slowly remove the cover, and situate it as shown in figure 9.
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, pavement 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:
How do I change the batteries in my scooter?
WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at
the same time.
5. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals by removing the nut and bolt from each terminal.
