n Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them. Check tires for wear.
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the tires
slippery and cause your Blast to skid.
n The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss
appearance.
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery
well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the correct wiring layout.
See figure 26.
n All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
Daily Checks
n With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral
position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect the boot.
Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem.
n Visually inspect the controller harness. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your authorized
Pride provider if there is a problem with any harnesses.
Weekly Checks
n Disconnect and inspect the controller from the electronics tray. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride
provider if necessary.
n Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Blast. Do not overtighten any screws.
n Check for proper tire inflation. There should be 30 – 35 psi in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see an authorized Pride
provider for replacement of the tube.
n Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate properly. To
calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in the neutral position, and power the unit back on. If a problem
still exists with your joystick’s performance, contact your authorized Pride provider.
n Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around your Blast.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your Blast.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You must be able
to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times, pushing the
joystick backwards, then left, and then right.
To calibrate the joystick (Remote Plus only):
1. Position the joystick in the full reverse position and hold it there. Turn on the controller.
2. The battery condition meter lights up from one light to ten lights, and then back to one light. It does this twice, then
blinks rapidly.
3. Turn off the controller.
4. Position the joystick in the full forward position and hold it there; then turn the controller on.
5. The battery condition meter lights up from one light to ten lights, and then back to one light. It does this twice, then blinks once, and
then it blinks continuously.
6. Turn off the controller. Now the joystick and controller are set up to function properly together.
