2 Warnings
2.1 Driving Technique
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. Chapter 1 section 5.2.
2.2 Hazards
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 control system 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 control system.
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 chair exhibits erratic behavior due to EMI, turn the control system off immediately and consult
your service agent. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply
with this condition

appropriate National and International EMC legislation. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of
any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
