XI. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
The PMV’s light bulbs are easily replaceable. Do not use regular automotive-type 12-volt light bulbs; your PMV
is equipped with a 24-volt electrical system. Replacement light bulbs can be purchased from your authorized Pride
Provider.
NOTE: Use only 24-volt light bulbs.
! Remove the light cover.
! Gently remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.
! Insert a new bulb of the same wattage.
! Replace the light cover.
STORING YOUR PMV
If you plan on not using your PMV for an extended period of time, it is best to:
! Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
! Disconnect the batteries from the PMV.
! Store your PMV in a warm, dry environment.
! Avoid storing your PMV where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your PMV to raise it off of the
ground. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the
tires contacting the ground.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND REAR ELECTRONICS
! Keep these areas free of moisture.
! Allow these areas to dry thoroughly if they have been exposed to moisture before operating your PMV again.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
In the event a fuse should cease to work:
! Remove the fuse by pulling it out of its slot.
! Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See figures 20 and 21.
! Insert a new fuse of the proper rating.

WARNING! The replacement fuse must exactly match the rating of the new fuse. Failure
to use properly rated fuses may cause damage to the electrical system and may result in
personal injury.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen
battery. This damages the battery and can cause personal injury.
