The operation of the S-Drive Scooter Controller is simple and easy to understand. The controller incorporates state-of-the-art
electronics, the result of many years of research, to provide you with ease of use and a very high level of safety. In common with
other electronic equipment, correct handling and operation of the unit will ensure maximum reliability.
This chapter covers all types of operation. It is the responsibility of the scooter manufacturer to ensure that only the relevant
sections of this chapter are included in the S-Drive’s operating manual.
Please read this chapter carefully - it will help you to keep your scooter reliable and safe.
2 General
2.1 Handling
Avoid knocking your controller and especially the connectors. Be careful not to strike obstacles with the controller. Never drop the
controller.
When transporting your scooter, make sure that the controller is well protected. Avoid damage to cables.
2.2 Operating Conditions
Your controller uses industrial-grade components throughout, ensuring reliable operation in a wide range of conditions. However,
you will improve the reliability of the controller if you keep exposure to extreme conditions to a minimum.
Do not expose your controller or its components to damp for prolonged periods.
3 Controls
Depending on the specification of the scooter to which the S-Drive is fitted, some or all of the following controls will be used.
3.1 On/Off Switch
The on/off switch applies power to the controller electronics, which in turn supplies power to the scooter’s motor. Do not use the
on/off switch to stop the scooter unless there is an emergency. (If you do, you may shorten the life of the scooter drive
components).
Some scooters may have a keyswitch in addition to the normal on/off switch, the function of the keyswitch is the same as the
on/off switch.
3.2 Status Indicator
Depending on the scooter model, the status indicator may be a single bulb (or LED) or a PGDT TruCharge battery and diagnostics
indicator.
The status indicator shows you that the scooter is switched on. It also indicates the operating status of the scooter. Details are
given in section 8.
3.3 Throttle
The throttle controls the speed of the scooter. The further you push the throttle, the faster your scooter will move. When you
release the throttle the brake is automatically applied.
