Your Travel Scooter requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confident in
your ability to perform the maintenance listed below, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at
your authorized Pride Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and
maintenance.
TIRE PRESSURE
If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire be
maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires.
Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to
maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result
in tire and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your Travel Scooter’s tires for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your Travel Scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube
replaced. If your Travel Scooter is equipped with a solid tire insert, either the solid insert or the entire
wheel must be replaced depending on model. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for information
regarding replacement wheels for your Travel Scooter.
