nMake certain that the seat is locked into place and that the key is removed from the key switch before ettin
on or off of your Celebrity, and make certain that the seat is in a locked position when you are operatin your
Scooter.
nReduce your Celebritys speed when you are operatin it on uneven terrain, soft surfaces, and around a
corner.
nProceed with extreme caution as you approach the down rade of a ramp or incline and when drivin near a
raised surface or unprotected led es and drop offs (kerbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
nUse extreme caution when operatin your Celebrity on busy streets and in parkin lots or shoppin malls.
nKeep your hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard when you are operatin your Celebrity.
nMake certain that the tyres are properly inflated (30 psi).
nMake certain that your Celebritys batteries are properly secured when you are transportin your Scooter in
another vehicle.
nDisconnect your Celebritys batteries if you will not be usin your Scooter for more than 48 hours.
nBattery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handlin .
II. SAFETY
WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture (rain, snow, mist, or wash) at any
time. uch exposure can damage the electronics.
Never attempt to ride a cooter that has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
Do not operate or store your cooter 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 cooter in such conditions can damage the electronics and
potentially result in loss of control.
Do not operate your cooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads).
uch use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely affect the performance
and/or safety of your cooter.
Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery.
This will damage the battery and may cause personal injury. Charging a battery in freezing
conditions does not prevent the battery from freezing.

7Celebrity
As you be in to use your Celebrity durin 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 throu h doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
DOORS
nDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.
nUse your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
nDrive your Celebrity slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Scooter slowly backwards to pull
the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door-ed e safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
nIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) be in to close, push on the rubber door ed e or
allow the rubber door ed e to contact your Scooter to reopen the door.
nUse care that pocketbooks, packa es, or Celebrity accessories do not become cau ht in the elevator doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildin s have ramps with specified de rees of inclination, desi ned for easy and safe scooter
access. Some ramps may have turnin switchbacks that require you to have ood cornerin skills on your Celebrity.
nTake wide swin s with your Scooters front wheel(s) around any ti ht corners. If you do that, the rear wheels
will follow a wide arc and will not cut the corner short, bump into, or et hun up on any railin corners.
nWhen drivin down a ramp, keep your Celebritys speed adjustment dial (see IV. Description) set to the
tortoise (slowest speed settin ) to ensure a safely controlled descent.
nAvoid sudden stops and starts.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not desi ned specifically for scooters. Fi ures 1 and 2 illustrate your
Celebritys stability and its ability to climb rades under various wei ht loads and under controlled testin conditions.
Controlled incline testin was conducted with the Celebritys seat in the hi hest position, adjusted backward on the
seat base to the farthest rearward position. These tests show that your Celebritys ability to travel up inclines is
affected by your wei ht, your Scooters speed, your an le of approach to the incline, and your Scooter setup.

Scooter on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason, we also desi ned your Celebrity to perform
admirably on packed soil, rass, and ravel.
nFeel free to use your Celebrity safely on lawns and in park areas.
nAvoid tall rass that can entan le the runnin ear.
nPacked soil, ravel, driveways, or roads will not present a problem for your Celebrity.

(The meter reads 24V when your batteries are fully char ed.) To check the char e, you must first unplu the
battery char er and then insert the key into the key switch.
You can also use the ammeter to check your batteries char e. The ammeter is located on the utility tray under the
rear shroud. See fi ure 8. (The ampera e readin should be at or near zero (0) when the batteries are fully
char ed.) The battery char er must be plu ed into a wall outlet to obtain an ammeter readin .
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
You can char e your Celebritys batteries with the Scooter completely assembled or with the Scooter disassembled,
as described in VIII. Disassembly and Assembly. We stron ly recommend you char e your batteries while your
Scooter is fully assembled. However, if you are travelin and you disassemble your Scooter to transport it, you
may find it necessary to char e your batteries. In such instances, it is easier to take out the utility tray and batteries
to perform the char in . See fi ure 10.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Celebritys battery volta e is low, the char er works harder and sends more electrical current to the
batteries to brin up their char e. As the volta e of the batteries approaches a full char e, the char er sends less
electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully char ed, the current sent to them from the char er is
at nearly zero ampera e. Therefore, when the char er is plu ed in, it maintains the char e on your Celebritys
batteries but does not overchar e them. We do not recommend that you char e your Celebritys batteries for more
than 24 consecutive hours.
What does the LED on the charger indicate?
The onboard battery char er is equipped with two LEDs that indicate the char in status of your Scooters
batteries. The red LED li hts up to indicate the battery char in is in pro ress. The reen LED flashes when your
Scooters batteries reach full char e.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced char in of your Celebritys batteries, you should simultaneously
char e both batteries usin only the manufacturer supplied onboard battery char er.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when decidin how often to char e your Celebrity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 lon you should char e your
Celebritys batteries. We desi ned the onboard char er so that it does not overchar e your Scooters batteries;
however, you may encounter some problems if you do not char e your batteries often enou h and if you do not
char e them on a re ular basis. Followin the five uidelines below provides safe and reliable battery operation and
char in .
V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

18 Celebrity
nIf you use your Celebrity daily, char e its batteries as soon as you finish usin it for the day. Your Scooter will
be ready each mornin to ive you a full day of service. We recommend you char e your Celebritys batteries
for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
nIf you use your Celebrity once a week or less, char e its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at
a time.
nKeep your Celebritys batteries fully char ed.
nAvoid deeply dischar in your Celebritys batteries.
nDo not char e your Celebritys batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal drivin conditions  smooth, flat, hard drivin surfaces with no wind or curves. You will
often face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these drivin
conditions affect the distance or runnin time per battery char e. The followin are a few su estions for obtainin
the maximum ran e per battery char e.
nAlways fully char e your Celebritys batteries prior to your daily use.
nMaintain 30 psi (pounds per square inch) in all of your Celebritys tyres.
nPlan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.
nLimit your ba a e wei ht to essential items.
nTry to maintain an even speed while your Celebrity is in motion.
nAvoid stop-and- o drivin .
What type and size of battery shou d I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and el
cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance in your Celebrity. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which
have removable caps.
CAUTION! Do not remove the caps from sealed batteries. Water cannot be added to sealed
batteries. Cap removal voids the battery warranty and may cause damage to the batteries and to
your Celebrity.
Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries.
Type: Deep-cycle (SLA or el cell)
Size: U-1
Volta e: 12 volts each
Ampera e: 32 AH (amp hours)
To chan e a battery in your Celebrity:
1. Remove the seat and the rear shroud. See VIII. Disassembly and Assembly.
2. Disconnect the battery cables from the electronic controller module.
3. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals.
4. Remove the old battery.
5. Place a new battery in the battery well.
6. Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.
7. Connect the black battery cable to the ne ative (-) battery terminal.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technolo y than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium
batteries (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically desi ned to provide
power, drain down their char e, and then accept a relatively quick rechar e.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your Celebritys specific electrical
demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and are shipped fully char ed to our customers. Durin shippin , the
batteries may encounter temperature extremes that may influence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the
char e on the battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to rechar e the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your Celebritys batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room
or ambient temperature.
More importantly, it takes a few char in cycles (a partial drain followed by a full rechar e) to establish the critical
chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle batterys peak performance and lon life.
Please follow these steps to properly break in your Celebritys new batteries for maximum efficiency and service
life.
1. Fully rechar e any new battery prior to its initial use. This initial char in cycle brin s the batteries up to about
88% of their peak performance level.
2. Operate your new Celebrity in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your
home or familiar surroundin s until you have become accustomed to your Celebritys controls and have properly
broken in your Scooters batteries.
3. Fully rechar e the batteries. This rechar e should brin the batteries up to about 90% of their peak performance
level.
4. Operate your Celebrity a ain.
5. Fully rechar e the batteries a ain.
6. After four or five char in cycles, the batteries are able to receive a char e of 100% of their peak performance
level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery ife?
Fully char ed deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery service life. Keep
your Celebritys batteries fully char ed whenever possible. Batteries that are deeply dischar ed, infrequently
char ed, or stored without a full char e may be permanently dama ed and cause unreliable performance and
limited service life.

How shou d I store my Ce ebrity and its batteries?
If you plan on not usin your Celebrity for an extended period of time, it is best to:
nFully char e its batteries prior to stora e.
nDisconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller module.
nStore your Celebrity in a warm, dry environment.
nAvoid storin your Celebrity where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
CAUTION! If your Celebrity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 prolon ed stora e, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Celebrity to raise your
Scooter off the round and take the wei ht off the tyres. This reduces the possibility of flat spots developin on the
areas of the tyres contactin the round.
