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 the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tyre.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tyre
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. Fail-
ure to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tyres at all times may
result in tyre and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your scooter’s tyres for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can have the tube replaced. If your
scooter is equipped with a solid tyre insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced depending on
the model. Contact your authorised Pride Provider for information regarding replacement wheels for your scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your scooter should only be serviced/replaced by an authorised
Pride Provider or qualified technician.
WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tyres before dismantling the rim or attempting repair.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
