PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – WARNING SUMMARY
Users or service personnel must not move a controller from one machine type to install it on a
different machine type. Controllers with different part numbers may have both hardware and
software differences to ensure that they are compatible with the electrical and dynamic
characteristics of their specific target vehicles. The characteristics of one type of controller may
not be compatible with a different machine. Failure to observe this warning could result in an
unsafe set-up for the machine user and may create a fire hazard depending on the motors, wiring,
connectors and circuit breakers installed on the unauthorized machine. PGDT accepts no liability
for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
2.20 Freewheeling
It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to ensure that adequate precautions are
taken to warn the user against the hazards of freewheeling the machine at excessive speeds. It is
also the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to utilize a suitable freewheel mechanism to
reduce these risks. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind resulting from excessive
freewheel speeds of a machine.
Do not freewheel the machine faster than the programmed Maximum Speed, e.g. by towing. PGDT
accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
2.21 Programming Connection
The Molex 4-way connector can only be used as a communications port for a PGDT programmer.
PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
2.22 Position
Under strenuous driving conditions it is possible for metal sections of the controller’s case to
exceed 41°C (106°F) in temperature. Under such conditions, the machine manufacturer should
ensure that either the user cannot touch these surfaces, or that the user is warned not to touch
these surfaces. While 41°C (106°F) is very close to normal body temperature, prolonged contact
with surfaces above 41°C (106°F) can result in burns to the skin. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
2.23 Production Tests
These tests should be conducted in an open space and for ride-on vehicles, a restraining device
such as a seat belt should always be used. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind
arising from failure to comply with this condition.
2.24 Introduction
Programming should only be conducted by electronic service professionals with in-depth
knowledge of PGDT controllers. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe set-up of a
machine for a user. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind if the programming of the
controller is altered from the factory preset values.
2.25 Forward Acceleration
Setting this value too low could cause the machine to tip when accelerating up a slope.
