PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – OPERATION
3.9 Slow/Fast Switch
This switch selects the driving mode – either slow or fast – of the machine. You can use this switch to limit the machine’s driving
behavior in environments where that may be desirable or necessary, e.g. if you are driving in an enclosed space.
3.10 Audible Alarm
This provides an audible warning when the machine is being driven in the reverse direction. The alarm may also be used to signal
other conditions, such as when the machine is in freewheel.
4 Getting Ready to Drive
Check that the speed limiting control is turned to a position that suits you.
Operate the On/Off switch. Either:
A TruCharge type status indicator will blink and remain on after half a second.
A single bulb (or LED) type status indicator will blink and remain on after half a second.
During the first half-second after the machine is switched on, the controller is performing important safety checks within itself and
the rest of the machine’s electrical system. Therefore, if you push the throttle during this time, you will not be able to drive until you
have returned the throttle to the rest position and switched the controller off and on again.
If the machine has a single-ended or unipolar throttle, use the reverse switch to select the direction you want to drive in and then
push the throttle to control the speed. If the machine has a wig-wag throttle, push the throttle in the direction you want to drive.
Depending on the configuration of the machine, you may also have to operate a direction switch and/or a tiller switch before
drive commences.
If you do not push the throttle as you switch the machine on and the status indicator flashes rapidly, then there may be a trip.
Refer to
Section 8 for details.
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 machine in the correct direction
at the appropriate speed. You will need very little concentration to control the machine, which is especially useful if you are
inexperienced.
The further you push the throttle away from the rest position, the faster the machine will go.
The intelligent speed controller minimizes the effects of slopes and different types of terrain.
The machine user must be capable of driving a machine safely. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
