Your Sundancer 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.
TYRE PRESSURE:
n We recommend you maintain the tyre pressure at 30 psi for optimum Scooter performance; overinflating a tyre
can cause it to explode.
TYRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR:
n Regularly inspect your Sundancer’s tyres for signs of wear.
n Use a rubber conditioner on your Sundancer’s tyres to preserve them.
n Do not put rubber conditioner on tread area of tyres; the tyres may become dangerously slippery.
EXTERIOR SURFACES:
n Bumpers and trim benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
n Do not use rubber or vinyl conditioner on your Sundancer’s vinyl seat or floormat; they may become dangerously
slippery.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS:
n Ensure the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
n Ensure the batteries sit flat in the battery wells.
n Ensure the battery terminals face the rear of your Sundancer.
WIRING HARNESSES:
n Regularly check all wiring connections.
n Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
n Repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation before you use your Sundancer.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS:
n Apply a light coat of car wax to the shrouds to help retain their high gloss; the shrouds are formed from durable
ABS plastic and are coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY:
n You do not need to lubricate these items, as they are all prelubricated and sealed.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER MODULE:
n Keep these areas away from moisture.
n Let any of these areas dry thoroughly before operating your Sundancer if they have been exposed to moisture.
STORAGE:
n Refer to “How should I store my Sundancer and its batteries?” in V. “Batteries and Charging.”
