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.
1. Remove the light cover.
2. Gently remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.
3. Insert a new bulb of the same wattage.
4. 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:
1. Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
2. Disconnect the batteries from the PMV.
3. Store your PMV in a warm, dry environment.
4. Avoid storing your PMV where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a
frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited
service life. It is recommended that you charge the PMV batteries periodically throughout periods of pro-
longed storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your PMV to raise it off of the ground during
periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots
developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR PMV
Your PMV must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of pack-
aging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and poly-
urethane materials.
