Pride Mobility PMV-502 Wheelchair User Manual


 
29Hurricane PMV
Your Hurricane PMV was designed to require a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you have any doubts
about its care or operation, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at your authorized PMV provider.
The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance:
TIRE PRESSURE
! For optimum scooter performance we recommend that the tire pressure be maintained at 30 psi.
WARNING! Do not exceed that pressure; overinflating a tire can cause it to explode.
TIRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR
Regularly inspect your Hurricane PMV’s tires for signs of wear. Use a rubber conditioner on your Hurricane
PMV’s tires to help preserve them.
WARNING! Do not put rubber conditioner on tread area of tires; the tires may become
dangerously slippery.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
The shrouds have been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. They retain their high gloss with a light application
of car wax.
OTHER EXPOSED SURFACES
! Bumpers and trim also benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner. Do not use a
rubber or vinyl conditioner on the Hurricane PMV’s floormat or vinyl seat; they may become dangerously
slippery.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
! Be sure they remain tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery well area with the
battery terminals facing the rear of the Hurricane PMV.
WIRING HARNESSES
! Check for insulation damage, especially the battery charger cord. If there is damage to this cord, you should
have it repaired or replaced prior to next use.
NOTE: To avoid undue tension on the wiring harnesses when disassembling the front and rear halves of the
Hurricane PMV, always disconnect the 9-pin front-to-rear harness and the two battery harnesses first.
SEAT POST
! We recommend you periodically clean dirt and grime from the detached post with any lubricant solution (such
as WD40) and then wipe any excess buildup away with a soft cloth.
