II. SAFETY
GENERAL
WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owners manual.
Your Revo Sport is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical thera­pist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to practice operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to operating the Revo Sport safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered your Revo Sport to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of accessories is available from your Pride provider to further customize your scooter to better suit your needs and/ or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function of your Revo Sport.
WARNING! Do not modify your Revo Sport in any way not authorized by Pride. Unauthorized modi­fications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Revo Sport.

II. SAFETY
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your Revo Sport and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary inspections, see XII. Care and Maintenance.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your Revo Sport:
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. n Check all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly. n Check the brakes. n Check battery charge.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Revo Sport. Carrying passengers on your Revo Sport may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride provider for assistance.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Revo Sport is rated for a 250-lb. maximum weight limit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and damage to your Revo Sport. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your Revo Sport.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline. n Take wide swings with your Revo Sports front wheel around any tight corners. If you do that, the Revo
Sports rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep the Revo Sports speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure
a safely controlled descent. See V. Your Revo Sport.
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
Revo Sport

II. SAFETY
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figures 1 and 1A illustrate your Revo Sports stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the Revo Sports seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Revo Sports ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your scooter setup.

II. SAFETY
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your Revo Sport toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.
WARNING! Do not exceed recommended linclines, weight limits, or any specifications presented in this manual.
FIGURE 2. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION
FIGURE 2A. INCREASED ST ABILITY DRIVING POSITION
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area  especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.
WARNING! Reduce speed when operating in close quarters and/or on uneven ground.
Revo Sport

II. SAFETY
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/ stop position; and
2. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces com­posed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encoun­ter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Reduce your scooters speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces. n Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear. n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand. n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than two inches.

II. SAFETY
STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.
NOTE: Safety accessories like reflectors, fluorescent flags, and various lighting packages are available to order from your authorized Pride provider.
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely affect the performance and safety of your scooter.
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not expose your scooter to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, or wash). Such exposure can damage your scooter. Never operate your scooter if it has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that when pulled up allows the scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see V. Your Revo Sport.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter in freewheel mode without an attendant present. Personal injury may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.
WARNING! Do not place your scooter in freewheel mode while on an incline. The scooter could roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.
An added safeguard built into the Revo Sport is push-too-fast protection which safeguards the scooter against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
Push-too-fast operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists.
n If the key is switched off while in freewheel mode, the scooters controller activates regenerative braking
when you push the scooter faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.
n If the key is switched on while in freewheel mode you will encounter considerable resistance at any speed.
This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever inadvertently be released while driving the scooter.
Revo Sport

II. SAFETY
TIRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your scooter. Do not exceed 35 psi in your Revo Sport tires.
WARNING! It is critically important that pneumatic tires be inflated to 30-35 psi. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Improper tire pressure may result in catastrophic tire and/or wheel failure. Serious personal injury and/or property damage may result.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter drive tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Minimum air pressure for scooter drive tires is 30-35 psi. Inflating your tires from an unregu­lated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire and/or personal injury.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to yourself and to others and damage your scooter.
DOORS
n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you. n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar. n Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly
backward to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s). n If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transpor­tation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more information about your scooters batteries, see VI.  Batteries and Charging.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.

II. SAFETY
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle control lever contact. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a person while seated in a scooter.
Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its battery/charger pack are properly secured when being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips when getting onto and off of your scooter:
n Power down your scooter. See VII. Operation. n Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See V. Your Revo Sport. n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch. n The seat armrests can be flipped up to make getting on and off of the scooter easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the scooter from tipping and causing injur y.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
Revo Sport

Page 14
II. SAFETY
POSITIONING BELTS
Your authorized Pride provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your scooter safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your scooter, make sure it is fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the scooter.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your scooter, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Pride recommends that the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the scooter and cause your scooter to tip, possibly resulting in personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability to operate your scooter in a safe manner.
ALCOHOL
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol.
WARNING! Do not operate your scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this may impair your ability to drive safely.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a scooter by any of its removable parts. Personal injury and damage to the scooter may result.

III. EMI/RFI
EMI/RFI WARNINGS
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When electromagnetic energy adversely affects the operation of an electrical device, that adverse effect is called Electro- magnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI/RFI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the risk
that EMI/RFI will adversely affect your mobility vehicle.
Where do radio waves come from?
Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies and CBs), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave sources, and paging transmitters. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). EM is more intense closer to transmitting antennas, which are sources of emission. The greater the transmission strength, the greater the concern to electric mobility vehicle users.
If EMI/RFI affects my mobility vehicle, what kind of motion should I expect?
This is difficult to predict. The answer would depend on a number of factors:
n The strength of the radio waves. n The construction of your particular mobility vehicle. n The location of your mobility vehicle (whether it is on the level ground or on an incline). n Whether or not your mobility vehicle is in motion.
The motion of any electric mobility vehicle affected by EMI/RFI can be erratic. The mobility vehicle may come to a sudden stop or move in an uncontrolled manner. Also, it is possible for EMI/RFI to release the brakes of an electric mobility vehicle. Some intense EMI/RFI can even damage the control system components of an electric mobility vehicle.
Is there any way to know for certain whether or not radio waves are the cause of any unintended mobility vehicle motion?
Unfortunately, EMI/RFI may be difficult to recognize, because the signals from radio sources are invisible and may be intermittent. However, the FDA recommends that you report all incidents of unintended motion or unintended brake release of your mobility vehicle to its manufacturer and, if possible, determine whether or not there was a radio wave source nearby at the time of the incident.
One precaution you can take against unintended motion of your mobility vehicle is to make certain that you or someone else is not the cause of the unintended motion. n Turn off your mobility vehicle by removing the key from the key switch when you are mounting or dismounting
your mobility vehicle.
n Never leave the key in the key switch of an unattended mobility vehicle. n By following these steps, you greatly reduce the risk of you or anyone else inadvertently bumping the throttle
control levers and causing the mobility vehicle to move unintentionally.
Has anyone been injured by the erratic, unintended motion of an electric mobility vehicle?
The FDA has reports of injuries that resulted from uncontrolled motion of electric mobility vehicles, but it is not clear just how many of those injuries were actually caused by EMI/RFI.
Revo Sport
15
Page 16
III. EMI/RFI
Are all electric mobility vehicles susceptible to EMI/RFI?
Each make and model of electric mobility vehicle differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. Every mobility vehicle has a particular level of resistance to EMI/RFI. This resistance is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher resis­tance level offers greater protection against EMI/RFI. In other words, an electric mobility vehicle with a high resistance level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio source than is an electric mobility vehicle with a low resistance level.
What is the FDA doing about the problem?
The FDA has written to electric mobility vehicle manufacturers and requested that those manufacturers test their new mobility vehicle models to be certain that they provide a reasonable degree of resistance against EMI/RFI. The FDA has stated that all newly manufactured electric mobility vehicle models should have a resistance level of at least 20 V/m. This level of resistance provides a reasonable degree of protection against the common sources of EMI/RFI.
The FDA has also requested or recommended that: n Electric mobility vehicle manufacturers clearly label new products with their resistance level or state that the
resistance level is not known.
n The labeling or informational material supplied with new electric mobility vehicles must explain what the resis-
tance level means and warn users about the possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.
n Electric mobility vehicle manufacturers undertake an educational program to inform electric mobility vehicle
users and their caregivers about the problems associated with EMI/RFI and about the actions they can take to minimize the risk of EMI/RFI.
n While there is no exact way to tell if your mobility vehicle is totally safe, an immunity level of 20 V/m is generally
achievable and useful. This product has been tested and passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
What can I do to find out if my mobility vehicle is likely to be affected by EMI/RFI?
If you have had your mobility vehicle for some time and have not experienced any unintended motion, it is not likely that you will have a problem in the future. However, it is always possible that EMI/RFI problems could arise if you are close to a source of radio waves. Therefore, it is very important for you to be alert to this possibility. The mobility vehicle meets or exceeds a resistance level of at least 20 V/m.
What can I do to reduce the risk of my mobility vehicle being affected by EMI/RFI?
Here are some precautions you can take: n Do not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and
cellular phones, while your mobility vehicle is turned on.
n Be aware of nearby radio wave transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way
radios. Try not to operate your mobility vehicle too close to those transmitters. For example, if you are on an electric mobility vehicle with a resistance level of at least 20 V/m, you should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-way radio and at least ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.
n Be aware that adding accessories and/or components, or modifying your mobility vehicle in any way, may
change its EMI/RFI resistance level and may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources.
What should I do if my mobility vehicle moves unexpectedly?
If unintended motion or unintended brake release occurs, turn off your mobility vehicle (by removing the key) as soon as it is safe to do so.
If my mobility vehicle moves unintentionally, where should I report the incident?
Call the Pride Technical Service Department at 1-800-800-8586 to report the incident.

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Revo Sports battery voltage is low the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage approaches full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent by the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your Revo Sports batteries, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Revo Sports batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What if my Revo Sports batteries wont charge?
n Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Revo Sports batteries:
n All day scooter use on a daily basis. n Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your Revo Sports batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it will not overcharge your scooters batteries. How­ever, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the five guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging. n If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your scooter will be ready
each morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend that you charge your Revo Sports batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
n If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time. n Keep your Revo Sports batteries fully charged. n Avoid deeply discharging your Revo Sports batteries. n Do not charge your Revo Sports batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditionssmooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often you will face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.
n Fully charge your Revo Sports batteries prior to use. n Plan your route to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible. n Limit your baggage weight to essential items. n Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion. n Avoid stop-and-go driving.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation with your scooter, you must contact the transportation provider in advance to determine their specific requirements.

Page 25
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
What type and size battery should I use?
Your scooter comes equipped with two deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed lead-acid and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.
Battery specifications: Type: Deep-cycle (sealed lead-acid or gel cell) Size: 17 AH (amp hours) Voltage: 12 volts each Amperage: 17 AH
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your Revo Sports specific electrical demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter temperature extremes that may influence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your Revo Sports batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature.
WARNING! If your Revo Sports battery/charger pack does become frozen, do not attempt to charge it. Cold or frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
It takes a few charging cycles (partial drains followed by full recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle batterys peak performance and long life.
Follow these steps to properly break-in your Revo Sports new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of its peak performance level.
2. Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooters controls.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your scooter again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Revo Sports batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.

n Keep these areas free of moisture. n If any of these items do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before operating your scooter
again.
STORAGE
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage. n Disconnect the wiring harness from the back of the battery/charger pack. n Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment. n Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise the scooter off of the ground. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
REAR LIGHTS
The light bulbs for the rear running lights are easily replaceable.
To replace a bulb:
n Remove the light cover which is held in place with Phillips head screws. n Gently remove the bulb by pulling it straight up. n Insert a new 24V, 5-watt bulb. n Replace the light cover.
NOTE: Replacement light bulbs can be purchased from your authorized Pride provider.
CAUTION! Do not use regular automotive-type 12-volt light bulbs; your scooter is equipped with a 24-volt electrical system.
