Figure 28. Check Tyre Pressure
n
Use a rubber conditioner on the tyre sidewalls to help pre-
serve them. Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread
area of the tyres; doing so may make the tyres slippery and
cause your Jet 1 to skid. Check for wear.
n
The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coat-
ing. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its
high-gloss appearance.
n
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight
and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery
well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each
other. Refer to the frame decal for the correct wiring layout.
n
All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They re-
quire no subsequent lubrication.
DAILY CHECKS
n
With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to
center when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect
the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem.
n
Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires exposed.
See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.
WEEKLY CHECKS
n
Disconnect and inspect the controller and the charger harnesses from the utility tray. Look for corrosion.
Contact your authorized Pride provider if necessary.
n
Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jet 1. Do not overtighten any screws.
n
Check for proper tyre inflation. There should be 30 35 psi in each tyre. If a tyre will not hold air, see your
authorized Pride provider for replacement of the tube.
n
Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate
properly. To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in neutral position, and power the unit
back on. If a problem still exists with your joysticks performance, contact your authorized Pride provider.
n
Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least one meter of clearance around
your Jet 1.
