What if my scooter does not move when I engage the throttle control lever?
When the manual freewheel lever is pushed forward, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the
motor/transaxle assembly is cut.
Push rearward on the manual freewheel lever, turn the scooter off, and then turn the scooter on to return
to normal scooter operation.
What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips?
If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorised Pride Dealer for service.
Charge the batteries more frequently. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”
If the problem continues, have both of your scooter’s batteries load tested by your authorised Pride
Dealer.
You may also perform the load test yourself. Battery load testers are available at most automotive parts
stores. Follow the directions supplied with the load tester.
See IV. “Batteries and Charging” or the specifications table for information about your scooter’s bat-
tery type.
What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I engage
the throttle control lever?
Fully charge your scooter’s batteries. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”
Have your authorised Pride Dealer load test each battery.
See the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.
If you experience any problems with your scooter that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your
authorised Pride Dealer for information, maintenance and service.
