PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY                   S-DRIVE – WARNING SUMMARY 
SK76745/10           
2.25  Inhibit 1 Speed Limit Value  
If the Inhibit Speed is greater than 0 then the controller will not enter an inhibit state. Chapter 2 
section 6.1.2. 
2.26  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  scooter  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.  Chapter  2  section  8.1.4  & 
8.2.4 
2.27  Production Tests 
This  test  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. Chapter 2 section 10. 
2.28  Program Settings 
Programming  should  only  be  conducted  by  healthcare  professionals  with  in-depth  knowledge  of 
PGDT electronic controllers. Incorrect  programming could result  in  an  unsafe setup  of a scooter

is altered from factory pre-set values. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind if the drive 
or stability characteristics of the chair are altered without prior notification and discussion with 
PGDT. Chapter 3 section 1.3.
