IV. YOUR SCOOTER
Batteries
The batteries store the electrical energy that powers your
scooter. See V. “Batteries and Charging ” for information on
how to charge your scooter batteries.
Motor/Transaxle Assembly
The motor/transaxle assembly is an electromechanical unit
that converts electrical energy from your scooter’s batteries
into the controlled mechanical energy that drives the scooter’s
wheels.
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 9.
Figure 9. Main Circuit Breaker (Reset Button)
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER (RESET BUTTON)
 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.
 If the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge the batteries more often or have your authorized Pride
Provider perform a load test on the batteries.
Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you need or want to push your scooter for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode.
1. Remove the key from the key switch.
2. Push forward on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system; you will now be
able to push your scooter.
3. Pull back on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive and the brake systems and take your scooter out
of freewheel mode.
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.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
NOTE: If the scooter is placed in freewheel mode (manual freewheel lever forward) while the key is in
the “on” position, the scooter will not run until the manual freewheel lever is pushed rearward and the
key is turned to the “off” position, then back to the “on” position.
