Batteries
The batteries store the electrical energy that powers your scooter. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
Main Circuit Breaker
When the voltage in your scooters batteries becomes low or your scooter is heavily strained because of excessive
loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your scooters motor and electronics from
damage.
n The main circuit breaker is mounted on the rear section of the scooter, near the manual freewheel lever. See
figure 7.
n The main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.
n When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your scooter is shut down.
n Allow a minute or so for your scooters electronics to rest.
n Push in the reset button to reset the breaker.
n If the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often. You may also need to have
your authorized Pride Provider perform a load test on your scooters batteries.
n If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride Provider for service.
Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you need or want to push your scooter for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode. See figure 7.
WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
n Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
n Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
n Stand behind the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a
scooter to do this.
n After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock
the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
n Pull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system. You will then be able
to push your scooter.
n Push down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system and the brake system and to take your
scooter out of freewheel mode.
V. YOUR RALLY
Battery Charger Fuse
The fuse has been incorporated into your charger to protect it from damage in the event of an electrical problem.
If your charger fuse repeatedly blows, try plugging your scooters power charger cord into an outlet on a different
circuit.
n The fuse is located under a cap on the outside of the battery charger.
n The cap unscrews to allow access to the fuse.
n Unscrew the cap and replace the fuse if it has blown.
WARNING! The replacement fuse must exactly match the rating of the new fuse. Failure
to use properly rated fuses may cause damage to the electrical system and may result in
personal injury.
