X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
n The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help
it retain its high-gloss appearance.
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within
the battery well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the
correct wiring layout.
n All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
n Make sure the drive tires are inflated to 30 35 psi.
WARNING! Make sure your tires are inflated to 30-35 psi. Do not underinflate or overinflate your
tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Serious personal
injury may result. Overinflating tires can cause them to explode and can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.
DAILY CHECKS
n With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to
center when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect
the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem.
n Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires
exposed. See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.
WEEKLY CHECKS
n Disconnect and inspect the controller and the charger harnesses from the utility tray. Look for corrosion.
Contact your authorized Pride provider if necessary.
n Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jet 2. Do not overtighten any
screws.
n Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate
properly. To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in neutral position, and power the unit
back on. If a problem still exists with your joysticks performance, contact your authorized Pride provider.
n Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around
your Jet 2.
n Check for proper tire inflation. There should be 30 35 psi in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see an
authorized Pride provider for replacement.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You
must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this
test three times, pushing the joystick backward, then left, and then right.
MONTHLY CHECKS
n Check that the anti-tip wheels are not rubbing the ground when you are operating the Jet 2. Adjust them as
necessary. See VI. Comfort Adjustments.
n Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
