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. Please be aware that the  
final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the  
scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical  
doctor, physical therapist, etc.).  
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted  
the scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride  
Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.  
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to prac-  
tice operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a  
family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living  
activities.  
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which  
you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as  
you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.  
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accus-  
tomed to operating the scooter safely.  
MODIFICATIONS  
Pride has designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range  
of accessories is available from your authorized Pride Provider to further customize your scooter to better  
suit your needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or  
disable any feature, part, or function of your scooter.  
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by Pride. Do not use  
accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.  
REMOVABLE PARTS  
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter by any of its removable parts,  
including the armrests, seat, or shroud. Pride recommends use of only solid, non-  
removable frame components such as scooter securement points or the front and rear  
frame weldments to lift or move your scooter.  
WARNING! Lifting the scooter should be accomplished with no fewer than three people,  
one at the front and two at the rear of the unit.  
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK  
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check  
before each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely.

I I . S A F E T Y  
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.  
Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in drive mode before sitting on your scooter.  
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.  
TIRE INFLATION  
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least  
once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth  
operation of your scooter.  
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on  
each tire be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate  
your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst.  
Failure to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all  
times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.  
WARNING! Inflate your scooter tires from a regulated air source with an available  
pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate  
them, resulting in a burst tire.  
NOTE: If the tires on your scooter list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to find  
the bar or kPa rating: bar = psi x 0.06895, kPa = psi x 6.89476  
W EIGHT LIMITATIONS  
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.  
Keep in mind that the maximum weight capacity includes the combined weight of the user and any  
accessories mounted to the scooter.  
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your scooter. Exceeding the  
weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/  
or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.  
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers on your  
scooter may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.  
INCLINE INFORMATION  
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe  
access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cor-  
nering skills on your scooter.  
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.  
Take wide swings with your scooter around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooter’s rear wheels  
will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.  
When driving down a ramp, keep the scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to  
ensure a safely controlled descent.  
Avoid sudden stops and starts.

I I . S A F E T Y  
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. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.  
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in  
freewheel mode especially while seated on it or standing next to it.  
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the  
face of the incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly  
reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when  
negotiating an incline.  
WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally  
up or down an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.  
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e.,  
areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).  
WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than  
those listed in Specifications Appendix, do not, under any circumstances,  
exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications. Doing so could cause  
instability in your scooter.  
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do  
not necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made,  
not designed specifically for scooters.  
Tests were conducted with the scooter’s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat base  
to its farthest rearward position. Use the specification table information as a guideline. See Section  
“Appendix I - Specifications.” Your scooter’s ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your  
scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline and your scooter setup.  
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is listed in the  
Specifications Appendix may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip.  
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 13 lbs. (6 kg). Never fill the  
front or rear basket with contents exceeding 13 lbs. (6 kg).

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 "roll back" approximately 3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages. If the throttle  
control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may "roll back" approximately  
3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages.  
Figure 1. Normal Driving Position  
Figure 2. Increased Stability Driving Position  
CORNERING INFORMATION  
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility  
of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning),  
uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction  
(such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt  
directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a  
corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter  
from tipping.  
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of  
gravity. When using your scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly  
reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.  
BRAKING INFORMATION  
Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:  
Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the  
center/stop position.  
Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or  
when power is removed from the system for any reason.

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.  
Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.  
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.  
Do not use your scooter in fresh or salt water.  
Do not use your scooter at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean.  
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.  
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADW AYS  
WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be  
aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter.  
Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then  
proceed with extreme caution.  
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)  
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs,  
porches, stairs, etc.).  
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is  
inordinately high.  
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb,  
or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.  
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be  
required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.  
WARNING! Even though your scooter may be capable of handling greater obstacles,  
Pride recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater  
than 2 in. (5 cm). Doing so could cause instability in your scooter.

INCLEMENT W EATHER PRECAUTIONS  
Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If sud-  
denly 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. Maintain and store  
your scooter in a dry and clean condition.  
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of  
upholstered and non-upholstered items on the scooter, possibly resulting in skin  
irritation. Exercise caution when using your scooter in extremely hot or cold conditions  
or when exposing your scooter to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.  
FREEW HEEL MODE  
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when engaged, allows the scooter to be  
pushed. For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see III.  
“Your Scooter.”  
WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.  
Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.  
Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.  
Stand to the side of the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit  
on a scooter to do this.  
After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to  
lock the brakes.  
An added feature built into the scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the scooter against  
gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.  
“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:  
If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the scooter’s controller activates regenerative  
braking when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed.  
In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.  
If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any  
speed. This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever  
inadvertently be released while driving the scooter.  
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not disconnect the batteries when the scooter  
is in freewheel mode as this may interfere with the function of the controller.  
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS  
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.  
WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.  
DOORS  
Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.  
Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.  
Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and  
slowly backwards to pull the door open.

ELEVATORS  
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).  
If you are in the doorway of a 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. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver  
in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your scooter in  
small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.  
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS  
If you will be transporting your scooter during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted  
lift system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the  
warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/  
elevation product before using that product.  
WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied  
mobility device. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter when  
it is being used in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless:  
That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer.  
You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings,  
instructions, specifications, and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.  
WARNING! Always turn off the power to the unit when you are being transferred via an  
elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental throttle control lever contact,  
resulting in unintended movement and personal injury or product damage.  
BATTERIES  
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.  
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! Scooter batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are  
unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques  
and avoid lifting beyond your capacity.  
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen  
battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.  
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables  
must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must  
be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps should be  
installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.  
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING  
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and contact your  
local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling,  
which is our recommended course of action.

PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT  
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period  
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle  
control lever contact.  
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/  
or 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.  
WARNING! Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not  
designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in  
a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts  
fastened securely.  
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.  
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly secured when it is  
being transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective caps  
should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any  
flammable or combustible items.  
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER  
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety  
tips when getting onto and off of your scooter:  
Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See III. “Your Scooter.”  
Make certain that the seat is fixed into place.  
Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the scooter easier.  
WARNING! Before transferring, remove the key from the key switch to prevent  
unintended movement.  
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the  
scooter from tipping.  
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the scooter armrests and do not use the  
armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the  
scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the scooter.  
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the  
scooter to tip.

REACHING AND BENDING  
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental  
throttle control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to  
maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Pride recommends that the scooter  
user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified  
attendant.  
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the  
scooter deck or from either side of the scooter. Movements such as these may change  
your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the scooter and cause your scooter  
to tip.  
PROHIBITED! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose  
fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.  
POSITIONING BELTS  
Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for deter-  
mining 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. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the scooter.  
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS  
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes  
awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific  
physical limitations.  
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter  
medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations  
may impair your ability to operate your scooter in a safe manner.  
ALCOHOL/SMOKING  
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes  
awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol or while smoking.  
WARNING! Do not operate your scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol, as  
this may impair your ability to drive safely.  
WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in  
your scooter, although the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements for  
cigarette smoking. You must adhere to the following safety guidelines if you decide to  
smoke cigarettes while seated in your scooter.  
Do not leave lit cigarettes unattended.  
Keep ashtrays a safe distance from the seat cushions.  
Always make sure cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposal.

FLAMMABILITY PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING! Even though the plastics used on your scooter have been tested and have  
passed the applicable flammability standards, Pride recommends that you do not expose  
your scooter to open flames.  
WARNING! Replace worn or damaged upholstery immediately to reduce the risk of fire  
hazard.  
WARNING! Be aware that washing of upholstered items may reduce the resistance to  
flammability of the fabric.  
ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)  
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency  
waves can have an adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility  
vehicles.  
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile  
two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters,  
wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range mobile transceivers  
used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to  
the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI.  
The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and  
has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/M.  
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, electricity generators or  
high power sources, and other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended  
movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution  
when using any of these items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid coming  
into close proximity of radio and TV stations.  
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered  
mobility vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your  
scooter in any way not authorized by Pride.  
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance  
of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.  
unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the Travel Scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call  
Pride at 1-800-424-8205 to report the incident.

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 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. From right  
to left, green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a  
draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is  
necessary. See figure 11. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery  
condition meter should be checked while operating your scooter at full  
speed on a dry, level surface.  
Figure 11. Battery Condition Meter  
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES  
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the  
charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.  
PROHIBITED! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If  
necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having  
2-pronged plug access.  
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter while the  
batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the  
scooter is occupied.  
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual  
supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.  
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the  
scooter and the battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks  
and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.  
WARNING! You must recharge your scooter’s batteries with the supplied off-board  
charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.  
WARNING! Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are clean and dry before  
plugging the charger power cord into the off-board charger port or the electrical outlet.  
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each  
use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.  
WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does  
not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery  
condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.  
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  
How does the charger work?  
When your scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to  
the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and  
less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly  
zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooter’s bat-  
teries, but does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging  
instructions.  
Can I use a different charger?  
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size, and  
chemical formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your scooter’s  
batteries, we recommend use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your Pride product only.  
Any charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.  
What if my scooter’s batteries won’t charge?  
Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.  
Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness  
leading to the charger.  
Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.

I V . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G  
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. However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough  
and if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and  
reliable battery operation and charging.  
If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your scooter  
will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your scooter’s batteries for at least 8 to  
14 hours after daily use. Pride recommends that you charge the batteries for an additional 4 hours after  
the battery charger indicates that charging is complete.  
If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for at least 24  
hours.  
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the  
manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. Pride recommends charging your  
batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery  
life.  
How can I ensure maximum battery life?  
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your  
scooter’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your scooter and batteries from extreme heat  
or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme  
temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable  
performance and limited service life.  
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?  
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves.  
Often, you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of  
which affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining  
the maximum range per battery charge.  
Always fully charge your scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.  
Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires.  
Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken or soft surfaces as possible.  
Limit your baggage weight to essential items.  
Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.  
Avoid stop-and-go driving.  
Pride recommends charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve  
battery performance and battery life.  
What type and size of battery should I use?  
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-  
cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.  
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-  
Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

I V . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G  
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.  
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.  
WARNING! Contact your authorized Pride Provider if you have any questions  
regarding the batteries in your scooter.  
WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.  
WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at  
the same time.  
WARNING! The batteries on your scooter should only be serviced or replaced by  
an authorized Pride Provider or a qualified technician.  
PROHIBITED! Keep tools and other metal objects away from battery terminals.  
Contact with tools can cause electrical shock.  
You may need the following to change your batteries:  
Metric/standard socket set and ratchet  
Adjustable wrench  
To change the batteries in your scooter:

NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery,  
immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and contact your  
local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider  
for instructions on disposal and battery recycling which  
is our recommended course of action.  
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-  
Figure 13A. Battery Cable Orientation  
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. Fresh batteries are shipped fully charged to our  
customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter  
temperature extremes that can influence their initial  
Figure 13B. Cable To Terminal Connection  
performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery;  
cold slows the available power and extends the time  
needed to recharge the battery.  
It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooter’s  
batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or ambient  
temperature. More importantly, it takes a few charging  
cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging) to  
establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a  
deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.  
BATTERY TIE-DOWN STRAP  
Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s  
new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life:  
Figure 13C. Battery Tie-down Strap  
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. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from  
your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s controls and  
have properly broken in your scooter’s batteries.  
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.  
4. Operate your scooter again.  
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.  
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak  
performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.  
What about public transportation?  
If you intend to use public transportation with your scooter, you must contact the transportation provider  
in advance to determine their specific requirements.

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. The scooter will either display a diagnostic flash code or emit a beep code in the event one of  
the conditions listed below develops.  
NOTE: Your scooter will not run unless the fault code condition is resolved and the scooter has been  
turned off, then turned back on.

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.  
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire be  
maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires.  
Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to  
maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result  
in tire and/or wheel failure.  
Regularly inspect your scooter’s tires for signs of wear.  
EXTERIOR SURFACES  
Bumpers, tires, and trim can benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.  
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter’s vinyl seat or tire  
tread, as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.  
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION  
Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your scooter.  
Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your scooter.  
If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for  
use on your product before application.  
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or  
cleaning agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin  
irritation or premature deterioration of upholstery and/or scooter finishes.  
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS  
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.  
The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.  
W IRING 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 insula-  
tion that you find before using your scooter again.  
PROHIBITED! Even though the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements  
for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of  
dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check  
electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.  
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harnesses directly to detach them from the scooter.  
Always grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to prevent wire  
damage.

STORING YOUR SCOOTER  
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:  
1. Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.  
2. Disconnect the batteries from the scooter.  
3. Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.  
4. Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.  
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a  
frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.  
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures,  
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited  
service life. It is recommended that you charge the scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of  
prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.  
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise it off of the ground during  
periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots  
developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.  
DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER  
Your scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact  
your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of pack-  
aging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and poly-  
urethane materials.
