S-DRIVE - WARNING SUMMARY PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY
SK76745/10
2.21 Inhibit 3 Speed
If the Inhibit Speed is greater than 0 then the controller will not enter an inhibit state. Chapter 2
section 4.12.2.
2.22 Drive Motors
The scooter manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the controller is matched to the motor
resistance. Failure to do this may result in poor control characteristics, which in extreme
instances can make a scooter uncontrollable and potentially unsafe. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition
.
The scooter manufacturer is responsible for always ensuring that any replacement motors or
gearboxes are fully compatible with the originals that the controller was designed to match.
Failure to do this may result in poor control characteristics, which in extreme instances can make
a scooter uncontrollable and potentially unsafe. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind
arising from failure to comply with this condition.
Users or service personnel must not move a controller from one scooter type to install it on a
different scooter type. Controllers with different part numbers may have both hardware and
software differences to ensure that they are compatible with the electrical and dynamic
characteristics of their specific target vehicles. The characteristics of one type of controller may
not be compatible with a different, unauthorized scooter. Failure to observe this warning could
result in an unsafe setup for the scooter user and may create a fire hazard depending on the
motors, wiring, connectors and circuit breakers installed on the unauthorized chair. PGDT accepts
no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. Chapter 2
section 5.
2.23 Freewheeling
It is the responsibility of the scooter manufacturer to ensure that adequate precautions are taken
to warn the user against the hazards of freewheeling the scooter at excessive speeds. It is also
the responsibility of the scooter manufacturer to utilize a suitable freewheel mechanism to reduce
these risks. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind resulting from excessive freewheel
speeds of a scooter. Chapter 2 section 5.2.
2.24 Charger Connections
Do not exceed the maximum charging current of 9 A rms. Always use the PGDT specified charger
connectors. Failure to observe these conditions could result in poor contact resistance in the
charger connector resulting in overheating of the charger plugs. This presents a potential burn
hazard for the user. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to
comply with this condition. Ensure that the charger plug pins are of the correct.
The scooter manufacturer must install a suitable fuse to protect the scooter’s wiring. PGDT recommends
that the fuse is fitted as close as possible to the 4-way Molex connector. Failure to comply with this
could result in a fire hazard. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to
comply with this condition. Chapter 2 section 6.
