Battery Charger Fuse
The fuse has been incorporated into your charger to protect it from damage in the event of an electrical problem.
If your charger fuse repeatedly blows, try plugging your scooter’s charger power cord into an outlet on a different circuit.
n The fuse is located under a cap on the outside of the battery charger.
n The cap unscrews to allow access to the fuse.
n Unscrew the cap and replace the fuse if it has blown.
CAUTION! The replacement fuse must exactly match the rating of the new fuse. If you
install a fuse with an incorrect rating, you may damage the charger. Contact your authorized
Pride provider for fuse rating information.
Main Circuit Breaker
When the voltage in your scooter’s batteries becomes low or your scooter is heavily strained because of excessive
loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your scooter’s motor and electronics from
damage.
n The main circuit breaker is mounted on the rear section of the scooter, near the manual freewheel lever. See figure 7.
n The main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.
n When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your scooter is shut down.
n Allow a minute or so for your scooter’s electronics to “rest.”
n Push in the reset button to reset the breaker.
n If the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often. You may also need to have
your authorized Pride provider perform a load test on your scooter’s batteries.
n If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride provider for service.
Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you want to push your scooter for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode. It is important to
remember that when your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged. Even though the motor
of your scooter is disengaged from the drive system when your scooter is put in freewheel mode, the motor can still
run if the throttle lever is pushed.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your scooter is in freewheel mode, the
braking system is disengaged. Follow these safety rules when using the freewheel mode.
n
Do not disengage the drive motors when your scooter is on an incline; your scooter
could roll down on its own and cause injury.
n
Before placing your scooter in or taking it out of freewheel mode, ensure the key is
removed from the key switch.
n
Never sit on a scooter when it is in freewheel mode.
n
When you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive (down)
mode to lock the brakes.
WARNING! Never operate the manual freewheel lever while seated on the scooter or
when the scooter is on an incline.
OPERATING THE MANUAL FREEWHEEL LEVER
n Only put the scooter in freewheel mode when on a flat surface with the key removed.
n Always pull UP FIRMLY on the manual freewheel lever to put the scooter into freewheel
mode.
n Always push DOWN FIRMLY to engage drive mode.
