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 authorised Pride
Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TYRE PRESSURE
If equipped with pneumatic tyres, always maintain a proper
2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi)
tyre pressure.
WARNING! It is important that 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained in pneumatic
tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure may result in
loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi)
tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel failure, causing
serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
Regularly inspect your scooters tyres for signs of wear.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tyres, trim, and the tiller boot can benefit from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooters vinyl seat, floorboard,
or tyre tread. They will become dangerously slippery and result in personal injury and/or
damage to your scooter.
