X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected periodically for
wear by your authorised Pride Dealer.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND REAR ELECTRONICS
Keep these areas free of moisture, and allow these areas to dry thoroughly if they have been exposed to moisture
before operating your scooter again.

FUSE REPLACEMENT
In the event a fuse should cease to work:
! Remove the fuse by pulling it out of its slot.
! Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See figures 25
and 26.
! Insert a new fuse of the proper rating.
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.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
The scooter’s light bulbs are easily replaceable. Do not use
regular automotive-type 12-volt light bulbs; your scooter is
equipped with a 24-volt electrical system. Replacement light
bulbs can be purchased from your authorised Pride Dealer.
NOTE: Use only 24-volt light bulbs.
! Remove the light cover.
! Gently remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.
! Insert a new bulb of the same wattage.
! Replace the light cover.
STORING YOUR SCOOTER
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
! Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
! Disconnect the batteries from the scooter.
! Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
! Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen
battery. This damages the battery and can cause personal injury.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise it off of the
ground. This takes the weight off the tyres and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the
tyres contacting the ground.
