WARNING! Do not expose the electronic controller module to moisture. If it does become exposed
to moisture, do not attempt to operate your Hurricane until it has thoroughly dried.
Main Circuit Breaker
When the voltage in your Hurricane’s batteries becomes low or your Scooter is heavily strained because of
excessive loads, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your Scooter’s motor and electronics from damage.
n The main circuit breaker reset button is mounted on the electronic controller module cover.
n The main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.
n When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your Hurricane is shut down.
n Allow a minute or so for your Hurricane’s electronics to “rest.”
n Push in the reset button to reset the breaker.
n If the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often or have your Pride provider
perform a 50-amp load test on your Hurricane’s batteries.
n If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride provider for service.
Anti-Tip Wheels (Not shown in photo)
The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your Hurricane which prevent your Scooter from
tipping backwards on an incline. They are located at the rearmost part of your Hurricane. Do not, under any
circumstances, remove the anti-tip wheels from your Scooter.
Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you want to push your Hurricane for short distances, you can put it in manual freewheel mode.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your Hurricane is in freewheel mode,
the braking system is disengaged.
Follow these safety rules when using the freewheel mode:
n Do not disengage the drive motors when your Hurricane is on an incline; your Scooter could
roll down on its own and cause injury!
n Before placing your Hurricane in or taking it out of freewheel mode, ensure the key is removed
from the key switch.
n Never sit on a Scooter when it is in freewheel mode.
n When you have finished pushing your Scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock the
brakes.
n The manual freewheel lever is located on the end of the motor/transaxle assembly at the right rear of the
Hurricane.
n Pull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system; you will then be able to
push your Hurricane.
n Push down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system and the brake system and take your
Hurricane out of freewheel mode.
Motor/Transaxle Assembly
The motor/transaxle assembly is the geared transmission and differential. It is a one piece, direct drive, fully sealed
assembly which provides quiet operation with maximum power.
