BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
The batteries must sit flat in the battery well.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed and require no subsequent lubrication.
CONSOLE, CHARGER AND ELECTRONICS
Keep these areas free of moisture.
If any of these items do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before operating your Travel
Scooter again.
WIRING HARNESSES
Regularly check all wiring connections.
Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power lead, for wear or damage.
Have your authorised Pride Dealer repair or replace any damaged connector, connection or insulation that you
find before using your Travel Scooter again.
PROHIBITED! Even though the Travel Scooter has passed the necessary testing
requirements for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from
sources of dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence.
Check electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
STORAGE
If you plan on not using your Travel Scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
Store your Travel Scooter in a warm, dry environment.
Avoid storing your Travel Scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures or stored
without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is
recommended that you charge the Travel Scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage
to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Travel Scooter to raise it off of the ground during
periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tyres and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing
on the areas of the tyres contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Your Travel Scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or authorised Pride Dealer for information on proper disposal of packaging,
metal frame components, plastic components, electronics and batteries.
