When to See Your Authorized Pride Provider for Service
The following symptoms could indicate a serious problem with your power chair. If necessary, contact your authorized
Pride Provider. When calling, have the model number, serial number, nature of the problem, and the trouble code if
available.
! Motor noise ! Powers up, but does not move
! Frayed harnesses ! Does not power up
! Cracked or broken connectors ! Bent or broken wheel assemblies
! Uneven wear on any of the tires ! Pulling to one side
! Jerky motion
Corrective Maintenance
If the battery condition meter does not light up when you turn on the power:
! Check the harness connections. Make sure they are tight.
! Check the circuit breaker. Reset it if necessary.
! Check the battery connections.
If the above conditions prove normal, you can load test the batteries with a battery load tester. These testers are available
at automotive parts stores. Disconnect both batteries before load testing and follow the directions that come with the load
tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace both of them. If your power chair still does not power up,
contact your authorized Pride Provider.
