PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – INSTALLATION
12 Production Tests
Perform the following tests, in order, on each machine before dispatch.
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.
12.1 Mounting
Make sure that the controller is securely mounted. Do not overtighten any securing screws.
12.2 Cables and Connectors
Check all cables and connectors for damage. Make sure that all connectors are securely mated.
12.3 Preset Settings
Make sure that the controller is using the correct program settings for the machine.
Controllers are always supplied with the settings shown on the relevant data sheet.
12.4 Operational Test
This test should be carried out on a level floor with at least one meter clear space around the machine.
• Switch on the controller.
• Check that the status indicator remains on, or flashes slowly, after one second.
• Go to drive the machine slowly in the forward direction until you hear the solenoid brake (if fitted) operate.
The machine may start to move.
• Immediately release the throttle. You must be able to hear the solenoid brake operate within a few seconds.
• Repeat the test in the reverse direction.
12.5 Test Drive
Drive the machine and make sure that it operates correctly for all positions of the user controls.
12.6 Soft-Stop Test
Drive the machine at full forward speed and switch the controller off. The machine must not stop suddenly, but should
decelerate to standstill.
In addition, ensure that the requirements in
Section 1.4 of this chapter are satisfied.
