PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY S-DRIVE – OPERATION
SK76745/10
5 Tips for Using Your Controller
5.1 Driving - General
Make sure that all the controls are within easy reach and are comfortable to operate.
5.2 Driving Technique
The controller interprets the throttle movements and reverse switch setting (if fitted) and drives the scooter in the correct direction
at the appropriate speed. You will need very little concentration to control the scooter, which is especially useful if you are
inexperienced.
The further you push the throttle away from the rest position, the faster the scooter will go.
The intelligent speed controller minimizes the effects of slopes and different types of terrain.
The scooter user must be capable of driving a scooter safely. PGDT accepts no liability for losses
of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
6 Precautions for Use
In the event of the scooter moving in an unexpected way RELEASE THE THROTTLE. This action will
stop the scooter in any circumstances.
6.1 Hazards
Do not drive the scooter:
Beyond restrictions indicated in your scooter user manual, for example inclines, curb heights etc.
In places or on surfaces where a loss of wheel grip could be hazardous, for example on wet grassy slopes.
If you know that the controller or other crucial components require repair.
Although the S-drive is designed to be extremely reliable and each unit is rigorously tested during
manufacture, the possibility of system malfunction always exists (however small the probability).
Under some conditions of system malfunction the controller must (for safety reasons) stop the
scooter instantaneously. If there is any possibility of the user falling out of the scooter as a
result of a sudden braking action, it is imperative that a restraining device such as a seat belt is
supplied with the scooter and that it is in use at all times when the scooter is in motion. PGDT
accept no liability for losses of any kind arising from the unexpected stopping of the scooter, or
arising from the improper use of the scooter or controller.
Do not operate the S-Drive if the scooter behaves erratically, or shows abnormal signs of
heating, sparks or smoke. Turn the S-Drive off at once and consult your service agent. PGDT
accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
Electronic equipment can be affected by Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI). Such interference
may be generated by radio stations, TV stations, other radio transmitters and cellular phones. If
the vehicle exhibits erratic behavior due to EMI, turn the controller off immediately and consult
your service agent. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply
with this condition
.
It is the responsibility of the scooter manufacturer to ensure that the scooter complies with
appropriate National and International EMC legislation. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of
any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
