III. YOUR SCOOTER TILLER CONSOLE The tiller console houses all of the controls needed to drive your scooter, including the speed adjustment dial, key switch, battery condition meter, status LED, horn buttons, turn signal buttons, accessory switches, and the throttle control lever. See figure 4. Please note that some of the features listed in this section are optional items available only on certain models in the Victory product line.
III. YOUR SCOOTER Status LED The status LED alerts you to electrical problems that may occur with the scooter. The LED remains constantly lit while your scooter is on. If your scooter develops an electrical problem, the status LED will flash a code. See VIII. “Basic Troubleshooting” for flash codes. Horn Buttons These buttons activate a warning horn. Your scooter must be powered up for the horn to be operational. Do not hesitate to use the warning horn when doing so may prevent accident or injury.
III. YOUR SCOOTER Throttle Control Lever This lever allows you to control the forward speed and the reverse speed of your scooter up to the maximum speed you preset with the speed adjustment dial. To Move Forward, use either of the following: Use your left thumb to push the left side of the throttle control lever. Use your right hand fingers to pull back on the right side of the throttle control lever.
III. YOUR SCOOTER REAR SECTION The batteries, anti-tip wheels, motor/transaxle assembly, main circuit breaker (reset button), and the manual freewheel lever are located on the rear section of your scooter. See figure 7. BATTERY BATTERY MANUAL FREEWHEEL LEVER MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY ANTI-TIP WHEELS Figure 7. Rear Section Batteries The batteries store electrical energy that powers your scooter. See IV. “Batteries and Charging ” for information on how to charge your scooter batteries.
III. YOUR SCOOTER Main Circuit Breaker (Reset Button) When the voltage in the batteries becomes low or your scooter is heavily strained because of excessive loads, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect the motor and electronics from damage. When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system shuts down. See figure 8 . The reset button pops out when the breaker trips. Allow a minute or so for the electronics to “rest.” Push in the reset button to reset the breaker.
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 off-board charging system. Charge your scooter’s batteries 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 change your batteries safely: 1. Position the front of your scooter close to a standard electrical outlet. 2. Remove the key from the key switch. 3. Make sure that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive position. 4. Plug the 3-pin charger power cord into the offboard charger port. See figures 5 and 10. 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? Your scooter requires two 12-volt, deep cycle, U-1 (31-36 Ah) batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Only sealed, non-spillable batteries that meet DOT CRF 173.459 should be used with your scooter. Replacement batteries should be obtained from your authorized Pride Provider to ensure proper conformability, fit, and function. MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERY TERMINALS UNDER BOOTS BATTERY HARNESS CONNECTIONS Figure 11. Battery Removal/Installation Figure 12. Battery Wiring Diagram 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.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life: 1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of its peak performance level. 2. Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas.
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. GETTING ONTO YOUR SCOOTER 1. Make certain that the key is removed from the key switch. WARNING! Never attempt to get onto or off of your scooter without first removing the key from the key switch.
V. OPERATION To stop, slowly release the throttle control lever. The electronic brakes will automatically engage, bringing your scooter to a stop. NOTE: Your scooter’s reverse speed is slower than that of the forward speed you preset with the speed adjustment dial. GETTING OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER 1. Bring your scooter to a complete stop. 2. Power down your scooter and remove the key from the key switch. 3.
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. 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 ROTATION ADJUSTMENT The seat rotation lever will secure the seat into several positions. 1. Push forward on the seat rotation lever to disengage the seat. See figure 17. 2. Rotate the seat to the desired position. 3. Release the lever to secure the seat into place. FRONT-TO-BACK SEAT ADJUSTMENT You can reposition the seat forward or rearward to adjust the distance between the seat and the tiller. 1. Move the seat sliding lever located at the lower left side of the seat outward.
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 several pieces: the seat, the front section, the rear section, the battery shroud (if equipped), the basket, and the batteries or battery boxes. See figure 19. 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 Frame Separation 1. Arrange the front wheel(s) in a straight forward-facing position. 2. Lower the tiller and tighten the tiller adjustment knob. FRAME RELEASE LEVER NOTE: The pivoting tiller is equipped with a mechanism that will lock the front wheels in place when the tiller is completely lowered and secured. 3. Grasp and lift up on the frame release lever. See figure 21. 4. Lift the front section up until the frame hooks of the front section separate from the rear section.
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.
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 rating 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. WARNING! Wheels on your scooter should only be serviced/replaced by an authorized Pride Provider or qualified technician.
IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE FUSE REPLACEMENT In the event a fuse should cease to work: 1. Remove the fuse by pulling it out of its slot. 2. Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See figures 24 and 24A. 3. Insert a new fuse of the same rating. WARNING! The replacement fuse must exactly match the rating of the fuse being replaced. Failure to use properly rated fuses may cause damage to the electrical system. Figure 24. Working Fuse Figure 24A.
