CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If
necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet
having 2-pronged plug access.
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug
the charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the PMV while the
batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries
while the PMV is occupied.
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the
manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep
the PMV and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or
sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before
each use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.
WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger
does not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not
attempt to insert objects through these slots.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Figure 7. Ammeter
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your
batteries. (The meter reads 24 volts when your batteries are fully charged.) To check the charge, you must
first unplug the onboard battery charger and insert the key into the key switch. To ensure the highest
accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while operating your PMV at full speed on a
level surface.
You can also use the ammeter to check your batteries’ charge. The ammeter is located on the utility tray
under the rear shroud. See figure 7. The amperage reading should be at or near zero (0) when the batteries
are fully charged. The battery charger must be plugged into a standard electrical outlet to obtain an
ammeter reading.
BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your PMV requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that
are sealed and maintenance free. Recharge the batteries with the conve-
nient onboard battery charger.
Charge your PMV’s batteries prior to using for the first time.
Keep your batteries fully charged to keep your PMV running
smoothly.
NOTE: Use only the onboard battery charger supplied with your PMV.
