Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems
that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems
occur because the batteries are not fully charged, or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer
hold a charge.
What if all the systems on my Legend seem to be dead?
n Make certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.
n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
n Push in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See V. Your Legend.
n Make certain that both black and white battery harnesses are firmly connected. See IX. Disassembly
and Assembly.
n Make sure all battery cables are connected to the battery terminals and the wing nuts are tightened.
n Make sure that the front-to-rear harness is firmly connected. See IX. Disassembly and Assembly.
What if the motor runs but my Legend does not move?
n Your Legend was probably left in manual freewheel mode.
n When the manual freewheel lever is pulled up, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle
is cut.
n Push down the manual freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Legend. See V. Your
Legend.
What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? See V. Your Legend.
n Charge the Legends batteries more frequently. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
n If the problem continues, have both of your Legends batteries load tested by your authorized Pride
provider.
n Or, battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores.
n Follow the directions supplied with the load tester.
n See VI. Batteries and Charging or IV. Specifications for information about your Legends bat-
tery type.
What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press
my Legends throttle control lever? See V. Your Legend.
n Fully charge your Legends batteries. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
n Have your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.

authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
