S-DRIVE ā OPERATION PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY
SK76745/10
The scooter user must comply with all scooter safety warnings. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
7 Safety Checks
The electronic circuits in the S-Drive have been designed to be extremely safe and reliable. The on-board microcomputer carries
out safety checks at up to 100 times per second. To supplement this safety monitoring you should carry out the following periodic
checks.
If the controller fails any of these checks, do not use the scooter and contact your service agent.
These checks should be conducted in an open space and 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.
7.1 Daily Checks
Throttle: With the scooter switched off, check that the throttle mechanism is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the rest
position when you push and release it. If there is a problem do not continue with the safety checks and contact your service
agent.
7.2 Weekly Checks
Throttle: Put the throttle to the full speed forward position and switch the scooter on. The scooter should not move. To
show you that you have switched the scooter on with the throttle already pushed, a TruCharge Trip type
status indicator will display 7 Bars, whereas a single bulb (or LED) type status indicator will flash seven times in
sequence.
If the scooter does move, contact your service agent.
Parking brake: This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least one meter clear space around the scooter.
Switch the scooter on.
Check that the status indicator remains on, or flashes slowly, after half a second.
Go to drive the scooter slowly in the forward direction until you hear the parking brake operate. The scooter
may start to move.
Immediately release the throttle. You must be able to hear the parking brake operate within a few seconds.
Repeat the test in the reverse direction.
Cables and connectors:
Check that all connectors on the scooter are securely mated, and ensure that all cables are free from
damage.
7.3 Servicing
To ensure continued satisfactory service, we suggest you have your scooter and controller inspected by your service agent after
a period of one year from commencement of service. Contact your service agent for details when the inspection is due.
8 Status Indication
Depending on the scooter model, the status indicator may be a single lamp (or LED) or a TruCharge battery gauge and
diagnostics display. Both types indicate the status of the controller.
