II. SAFETY GENERAL MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual. Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user.
II. SAFETY Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter: Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires. Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly. Check the brakes. Check battery charge. If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
II. SAFETY When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever.
II. SAFETY When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 1 and 2. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered scooter may "rollback" approximately 1 foot (30.5 cm) before the brake engages.
II. SAFETY OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas. Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
II. SAFETY INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your scooter, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your scooter before storing, charging, or operating your scooter. PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces can cause damage to the scooter and electrical system.
II. SAFETY ELEVATORS Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s). If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen. Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors. NOTE: If your scooter’s turning radius is greater than 60 in.
II. SAFETY MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and properly secured. In addition, all removable scooter parts, including the armrests, seat, and shroud should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
II. SAFETY POSITIONING BELTS Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your scooter safely. WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your scooter, make sure it is fastened securely in order to reduce the possibility of a fall from the scooter.
II. SAFETY ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI) WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
III. YOUR SCOOTER TILLER CONSOLE The tiller console houses all of the controls needed to drive your scooter, including the speed adjustment dial, throttle control lever, battery condition meter, lights switch, status LED, and horn buttons.

They are bolted to the frame at the rear of the scooter.
III. YOUR SCOOTER Safety Flag Bracket An accessory bracket for installing an optional safety flag is mounted near each anti-tip wheel. To install the flag, the supplied “L”-shaped hex key is needed. See figure 8A. HEX KEY CAP To install the safelty flag: 1. Remove the cap from the top of the bracket. 2. Loosen the setscrew with the supplied “L”shaped hex key. 3. Insert the flag pole into the opening. 4. Tighten the setscrew to complete installation.
III. YOUR SCOOTER NOTE: If the scooter is placed in freewheel mode (manual freewheel lever forward) while the key is in the “on” position, the scooter will not run until the manual freewheel lever is pushed rearward and the key is turned to the “off” position, then back to the “on” position. SECUREMENT POINTS Steel loops welded to the anti-tip wheel brackets and/or front frame components of your scooter provide securement points. See figures 10 and 10A.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an offboard charging system. Charge your scooter’s batteries fully prior to using it for the first time. Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly. READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely: 1. Position your scooter close to a standard electrical outlet. 2. Remove the key from the key switch. 3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive (down) position. 4. Plug the 3-pin charger power cord into the offboard charger port. See figures 6 and 12. 5. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the electrical outlet. We recommend that you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. 6.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How often must I charge the batteries? Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooter’s batteries: All day scooter use on a daily basis. Infrequent or sporadic scooter use. With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter’s batteries. We designed the off-board charger so that it will not overcharge your scooter’s batteries.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How do I change a battery in my scooter? MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling. WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and amp-hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads), and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge and then accept a relatively quick recharge. We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooter’s specific electrical demands.
V. OPERATION BEFORE GETTING ONTO YOUR SCOOTER Have you fully charged the batteries? See IV. “Batteries and Charging.” Is the manual freewheel lever in the drive (rearward) position? Never leave the manual freewheel lever pushed forward unless you are manually pushing your scooter. Is the tiller lock knob in the unlocked position? See VII. “Disassembly and Assembly.” GETTING ONTO YOUR SCOOTER 1. Make certain that the key is removed from the key switch.
V. OPERATION NOTE: Your scooter’s reverse speed is slower than that of the forward speed you preset with the speed adjustment dial. GETTING OFF YOUR SCOOTER 1. Bring your scooter to a complete stop. 2. Remove the key from the key switch. 3. Disengage the seat rotation lever and rotate the seat until you are facing toward the side of your scooter. 4. Make certain that the seat is fixed securely in position. 5. Carefully and safely get out of the seat and stand to the side of your scooter. 6.
VI. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS TILLER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT WARNING! Remove the key from the key switch before adjusting the tiller or the seat. Never attempt to adjust the tiller or the seat while the scooter is in motion. TILLER ADJUSTMENT KNOB Your scooter is equipped with an adjustable pivoting tiller. 1. While supporting the tiller, turn the tiller adjustment knob counterclockwise to loosen the tiller. See figure 14. 2. Move the tiller to a comfortable position. 3.
VI. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT The seat can be repositioned to different heights. See figure 17. 1. Remove the seat and rear shroud from your scooter. See VII. “Disassembly and Assembly.” 2. Loosen the seat height adjustment nut and remove it from the bolt. Remove the bolt. 3. Loosen the clamp-action bolt. 4. Raise or lower the upper seat post to the desired seat height. 5.
VI. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS POSITIONING BELT (OPTIONAL) Your scooter seat may be equipped with an auto-type positioning belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See figure 19. The positioning belt is designed to help support the operator so that he/she does not slide down or forward in the seat. The positioning belt is not designed for use as a restraining device. To install the positioning belt (if required): 1. Remove the seat from your scooter. 2.
VI. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS POWER SEAT ADJUSTMENT Your scooter may be equipped with a power seat. The power seat actuator is designed to raise or lower the seat with minimal effort on the part of the operator. The power seat switch is located on the tiller console. WARNING! The power seat is intended for operation only while your scooter is stationary and on a level surface. Its purpose is to aid you in reaching objects. Drive your scooter only with the power seat in the lowest position.
VII. DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLY You can disassemble the scooter into seven pieces: the seat, the front section, the rear section, the rear shroud, the basket, and the batteries. See figure 20. No tools are required to disassemble or assemble your scooter, but keep in mind that the disassembled sections of the scooter take up more floor space than the assembled unit.
VII. DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY 8. Squeeze the tiller adjustment lever and lower the tiller to its lowest point. Adjust the tiller console if necessary. REAR LIGHTING HARNESS WARNING! Failure to unplug both battery harnesses, the front-torear harness, and rear lighting harness prior to separating the front and rear sections could result in permanent damage to the scooter. Frame Separation 1. Lift up on the frame release lever. See figure 23. 2.
VIII. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge. DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODES The diagnostic fault codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and easily.
VIII. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING What if my scooter does not move when I engage the throttle control lever? When the manual freewheel lever is pushed forward, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the motor/transaxle assembly is cut. Push rearward on the manual freewheel lever, turn the scooter off and then turn the scooter on to return to normal scooter operation. What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? Charge the scooter’s batteries more frequently. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.
IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your 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.
IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE WHEEL REPLACEMENT If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube replaced. If your scooter is equipped with a solid tire insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced depending on the model. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for information regarding replacement wheels for your scooter.
IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE WIRING HARNESSES Regularly check all wiring connections. Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage. Have your authorized Pride Provider repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you find before using your scooter again.
