VIII. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
What if my PMV does not move when I engage the throttle control lever?
When the manual freewheel lever is pushed forward, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the
motor/transaxle assembly is cut.
Pull back on the manual freewheel lever, turn the PMV off, then back on to return to normal operation.
What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips?
Charge the PMV’s batteries more frequently. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”
If the problem continues, have both of your PMV’s batteries load tested by your authorized Pride
Provider.
You may also perform the load test yourself. Battery load testers are available at most automotive parts
stores.
Follow the directions supplied with the load tester.
See “Appendix I - Specifications” for information about your PMV’s battery type.
What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I engage
the throttle control lever?
Fully charge your PMV’s batteries. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”
Have your authorized Pride Provider load test each battery.
Or, see the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.
If you experience any problems with your PMV that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your
authorized Pride Provider for information, maintenance, and service.
