batteries, see V. Batteries and Charging.
Electronic Controller Module
This module is located behind the batteries and at the forward left corner of the rear section. The electronic
controller module receives electrical signals from the console controls and sends power to the motor, the
brakes, and the lighting system.
WARNING! Do not expose the electronic controller module to moisture. If it does become exposed
to moisture, do not attempt to operate your scooter until it has dried thoroughly.
WARNING! Your Victory XL-3 is equipped with a microprocessor based, programmable controller.
The controller must be programmed by an authorised Pride technician only. Improper
programming of the controller could result in unsafe operation of your scooter, causing personal
injury or damage to your scooter.

fully sealed assembly designed to provide quiet operation with maximum power and long life.
