Pride Mobility Hurricane - Manual (Page 31)

31 Hurricane
The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TYRE PRESSURE:
n We recommend you maintain the tyre pressure at 30 psi for optimum scooter performance; overinflating a tyre
can cause it to explode.
TYRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR:
n Regularly inspect your Hurricane’s tyres for signs of wear.
n Use a rubber conditioner on your Hurricane’s tyres to preserve them.
n Do not put rubber conditioner on tread area of tyres; the tyres may become dangerously slippery.
EXTERIOR SURFACES:
n Bumpers and trim benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.
n Do not use rubber or vinyl conditioner on your Hurricane’s vinyl seat; it may become dangerously slippery.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS:
n Ensure the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
n Ensure the batteries sit flat in the battery wells.
n Ensure the battery terminals face the rear of your Hurricane.
WIRING HARNESSES:
n Regularly check all wiring connections.
n Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
n Repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation before you use your Hurricane.
SEAT POST:
n Periodically clean dirt and grime from the detached seat post with any lubricant solution; wipe away excess
buildup with a soft cloth.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS:
n Apply a light coat of car wax to the shrouds to help retain their high gloss; the shrouds are formed from durable
ABS plastic and coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE HURRICANE ASSEMBLY:
n You do not need to lubricate these items, as they are all prelubricated and sealed.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER MODULE:
n Keep these areas away from moisture.
n Let any of these areas dry thoroughly before operating your Hurricane if they have been exposed to moisture.
STORAGE:
n Refer to “How should I store my Hurricane and its batteries?” in V. “Batteries and Charging.”
