30 Hurricane
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that
may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because
the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
All of my Scooter systems appear to be “dead.” One of the following actions may eliminate the problem.
n Ensure the key is fully inserted in the key switch.
n Ensure the batteries are fully charged.
n Push in the main circuit breaker reset button.
n Ensure both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the
electronic controller module and to the battery terminals.
n Ensure the 9-pin connector is firmly attached.
My Scooter’s battery condition meter shows a full charge,
but my Scooter does not move when I push the throttle.
Ensure your Scooter was not left in freewheel mode.
(Push down on the manual freewheel lever to restore normal
operation.)
NOTE: When the manual freewheel lever is pulled up, your
Scooter’s brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle
is cut.
My Scooter’s main circuit breaker repeatedly trips. One of the following actions may eliminate the problem.
n Charge your Scooter’s batteries more frequently.
n Have both of your Scooter’s batteries load tested by your
authorized Pride provider.
n Obtain a battery load tester at most any automotive parts
store; follow the directions supplied with the load tester.
My Scooter’s battery condition meter dips way down and
the motor surges or hesitates when I press the throttle
control lever.
One of the following actions may eliminate the problem.

n Have your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.
n Obtain a battery load tester at most any automotive parts
store; follow the directions supplied with the load tester.
