It is imperative that you read this entire manual and understand all of the safety precautions before you attempt to
operate your new Hurricane for the first time.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch before getting on or
off of your Scooter.
n Make sure that you set the 4 - 8 mph switch to 4 and the speed adjustment dial to the tortoise (slowest speed)
setting when you begin using your Hurricane.
n Ensure the seat is in a locked position when you are operating your Scooter.
n Do not operate your Scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol.
n Check with your physician if you are taking any medication(s) that may affect your ability to operate your
Scooter.
n Do not exceed the specifications in this manual.
n Do not carry passengers on your Hurricane, under any circumstances.
n Never drive your Scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down an incline; do not stop, if
possible, while driving up or down an incline.
n Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your Scooter. This
recommended driving position gives you the most control over your Scooter.
n Use extreme caution when driving on busy streets, in parking lots, or in shopping malls.
n Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or unprotected ledges or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
n Drive slowly through turns.
n Make certain that the tyres are properly inflated (30 psi).
n NeveruseyourScooterasaseatinamovingvehicle.YourScooterisnotdesignedtobeusedassuchand
cannot protect you in the event of an automobile accident or an abrupt stop.
n Secure the batteries before loading your Hurricane into another vehicle for transport.
n Disconnect the batteries if you are not going to operate your Scooter for more than 48 hours.
WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, or
wash). Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt to ride a Hurricane that has
been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
Do not operate or store your Hurricane where it may be exposed to inclement weather conditions
such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures (such as storage on an outside car/van
lift). Attempting to operate your Scooter in such conditions can damage the electronics and
potentially result in loss of control.
Do not operate your Hurricane 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/or safety of your Scooter.
Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. This
damages the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in freezing
conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
Contact your authorized Pride provider if you have any questions after reading this manual.

As you begin to use your Hurricane during your daily activities, you will encounter situations that may require some
practice. Simply take your time as you operate your Scooter and you will soon be in full and confident control as
you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
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 Hurricane slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Scooter slowly backwards as you
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 your Scooter to reopen the door.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Hurricane accessories do not become caught in the elevator doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe scooter
access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require you to have good cornering skills on your Hurricane.
n Take slow, wide swings with your Scooter’s front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the rear
wheels will follow a wide arc and will not cut the corner short, bump into, or get hung up on any railing corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep your Hurricane’s speed adjustment dial (see IV. “Description”) set to the
tortoise (slowest speed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figure 1 illustrates your
Hurricane’s stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.

The controlled tests show that, when you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 3. This
shifts the center of gravity of you and your Hurricane toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.

WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual.

DRIVING SURFACES
YourHurricanewasdesignedtoprovideoptimumstabilityundernormaldrivingconditions—dry,levelsurfaces
composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will operate your
Hurricane on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason, we also designed your Hurricane to perform
admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
n Feel free to use your Hurricane safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Avoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.
n Packed soil, gravel, driveways, or roads will not present a problem for your Hurricane.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

(The meter reads 26 volts when your batteries are fully charged.) To check the charge, you must first unplug the
battery charger and insert the key into the key switch.
Youcanalsousetheammetertocheckyourbatteries’charge.Theammeterislocatedontheutilitytrayunderthe
rear shroud. (The amperage reading should be at or near zero (0) when the batteries are fully charged.) The
battery charger must be plugged into a wall outlet to obtain an ammeter reading.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
YoucanchargeyourbatterieswithyourHurricanecompletelyassembledorwithyourHurricanedisassembled,
as described in VIII. “Assembly and Disassembly.” We strongly recommend you charge your batteries while
your Hurricane is fully assembled. However, if you are traveling and you disassemble your Hurricane to transport
it, you may find it necessary to charge your batteries. In such instances, it is easier to take out the utility tray and
batteries to perform the charging.
Follow these steps to safely charge your batteries while your Hurricane is fully assembled.
1. Position your Scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Ensure the freewheel lever is in the down (drive) position.
4. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. We recommend you charge your batteries for
8 to 14 hours.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet, recoil the cord, and
place it neatly inside the utility tray.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your Hurricane. Your Scooter does not run and the battery condition
meter does not operate while the batteries are charging.
Follow these steps to safely charge your batteries with the utility tray and batteries removed.
1. Disassemble your Hurricane, as described in VIII. “Assembly and Disassembly.”
2. Position your utility tray and batteries close to a standard wall outlet.
3. Plug both the 2-pin battery harnesses into the adjoining harnesses extending from the electronic controller
module on the utility tray. See figure 9.
4. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. We recommend you charge your batteries for

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Hurricane’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to the
batteries to bring up their charge.As the voltage of the batteries approaches a full charge, the charger sends less
electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them from the charger is
at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on the batteries but
does not overcharge them. Even though the charging maintenance feature is built into your Hurricane’s onboard
charger, we do not recommend that you charge your Hurricane’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What does the LED on the charger indicate?
The red LED indicates that the batteries are being charged. The green LED turns on after the batteries have been
fully charged. In some instances, the green LED may stay on after the charger has been unplugged from the wall
outlet.Although users may perceive this as a charger malfunction, it is normal. The green LED goes off after a few
minutes, when the batteries reach 26 VDC.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your Hurricane’s batteries, you should simultaneously
charge both batteries using only the manufacturer supplied onboard battery charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Hurricane’s batteries: all day
Scooter use on a daily basis and infrequent Scooter use.

With these considerations in mind, you can determine just how often and for how long you should charge your
Hurricane’s batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it does not overcharge your PMV’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 provides safe and reliable battery operation and
charging.
1. Ifyouuseyourscooterdaily,chargeitsbatteriesassoonasyoufinishusingitfortheday.Yourscooterwillbe
ready each morning to give you a “full day” of service. We recommend you charge your Hurricane’s batteries
for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
2. 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.
3. Keep your Hurricane’s batteries fully charged.
4. Avoid deeply discharging your Hurricane’s batteries.
5. Do not charge your Hurricane’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarelywillyouhaveidealdrivingconditions—smooth,flat,harddrivingsurfaceswithnowindorcurves.You
will
often face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind.All of these driving
conditions affect the distance or running time per battery charge. The following are a few suggestions for obtaining
the maximum range per battery charge.
n Always fully charge your Hurricane’s batteries prior to your daily use.
n Maintain 30 psi (pounds per square inch) in all of your Hurricane’s tyres.
n Plan your route ahead 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.

To change a battery in your Hurricane:
1. Remove the seat and the rear shroud. See VIII. “Assembly and Disassembly.”
2. Disconnect the battery tie-down strap.
3. Disconnect the battery cables from the electronic controller module.
4. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals.
5. Remove the old battery.
6. Place a new battery in the battery well.
7. Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.
8. Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
9. Reconnect the battery cables to the electronic controller module.
10. Reconnect the battery tie-down strap.
11. Reinstall the rear shroud and the seat.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
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 Hurricane’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 Hurricane’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room
or ambient temperature.
More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (a partial drain followed by a full recharge) to establish the critical
chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.
Please follow these steps to properly break in your Hurricane’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This initial charging cycle brings the batteries up to
about 88% of their peak performance level.
2. Operate your new Hurricane 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 Hurricane’s controls and have
properly broken in the batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. This recharge should bring the batteries up to about 90% of their peak performance
level.
4. Operate your Hurricane 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 service life. Keep
your Hurricane’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are deeply discharged, infrequently
charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged and cause unreliable performance and
limited service life.
How should I store my Hurricane and its batteries?
If you plan on not using your Hurricane for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge the batteries prior to storage.
n Disconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller module.
n Store your Hurricane in a warm, dry environment.
n Avoid storing your Hurricane where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! If your Hurricane’s batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold or
frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Hurricane to raise the
Scooter off the ground and take the weight off the tyres. This reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the
areas of the tyres contacting the ground.
