1. Safety instructions
1.1 General:
1.1.1 Technicians who are servicing the scooter should be authorized to service the
scooter.
1.1.2 Technicians who are servicing the scooter should be aware and follow all safety
instructions within the User Manual.
1.1.3 Technician should follow general safety instruction like using gloves, safety glasses
when needed.
1.1.4 The scooter weight with batteries is about 150 kg even lifting 1 wheel is about 40
kg. Always use other people help or a appropriate lifting device.
1.1.5 When lifting always use your legs and not your back.
1.1.6 The battery weight is about 24 kg . The power unit weight is about 25 kg. The seat
weight is about 15kg.
1.1.7 Never do any change in the product before consulting the manufacturer
engineering. Remember the products are approve as they are , any chage remove
the manufacturer responsibility for the safety of the product.
1.2 Drive :
1.2.1 Technicians who are drivinging the scooter should be aware and follow all safety
instructions within the User Manual.
1.3 Mechanic :
1.3.1 It is possible that a technician will need to operate the scooter when he is standing
on the side ,working on different assemblies.
1.3.2 When no electric power and operation needed , always Stop the power by Switch
OFF and disconnecting the battery terminals.
1.3.3 Never put any part of your body under the scooter parts.
1.3.4 If necessary, first place a wood block under, to make sure no injure will happen.
1.3.5 Use standard tools. Use them according to their safety instructions .
1.4 Electric :
1.4.1 If necessary to operate the scooter when you are not seating on it. In such cases
you should be aware to the parts that can move by power –Power unit shafts and
wheels.
1.4.2 Never put your hands close to a part that is moving or turning. Be aware that your
cloth will not be trapped into one of the moving parts.
1.4.3 Batteries contain a large electric energy inside. This energy can cause sparks and
heat metals when short circuiting.
1.4.4 When working on the battery terminals, make sure no to short circuit between any
2 terminals. This can cause strong spars and make the tools very hot.
1.4.5 When working on the batteries, use protecting gloves and safety glasses.
1.4.6 Battery contains acid. Never open any of the battery case. If you see any liquid or
Gel aside, beware of it. It might be Acid.


8. Controller Programming / Setup
If the user cannot find a position on the half speed limit switch
control that suits him, the controller can be programmed to meet
his needs. The controller can be programmed in two ways –with
an SP1 Programmer or specialist PC software and interface
cable.
The SP1 is a small hand-held unit which can be plugged into
your controller to alter the program.
The PC Programmer is a piece of PC software and an interface
cable. When the software is installed onto a PC, it can then be
connected to the controller by using the special interface cable.
The controller can then be programmed using a windows type
environment
The programming tools may be included with your scooter. If
they are not, the scooter distributor or service agent or scooter
manufacturer will are able to program the controller.
If you have a programmer, read the user guide before you use it.
If you re-program your controller, make sure that you observe
any restrictions given in your scooter user manual. Note any
changes you make for future reference.
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare
professionals with in-depth knowledge of PGDT electronic
controllers. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe
set-up of a scooter for a user. PGDT accept no liability for
losses of any kind if the programming of the controller is
altered from factory pre-set values.

Periodic maintenance - continue
Removing the Seat and the
Batteries Cover(2)
Turn the Seat by using the lifting Lever (7.5) so that the
Lever will point 45º Right or Left. The Seat can be
removed only at this position.
Remove the Seat (7): Hold the Seat in your two hands
–one hand on the backrest and a second hand at the
front lower part of the seat and lift the seat up from its
pivot.
Warning! The seat weight is 15 Kg (33lbs).
Keep lifting with your Knees/legs and not loading your
Back. Release Battery Cover (2) securing screws (2.6).
Lift the Battery Cover (2) until it is released from the
Seat Pivot .
Replacing the Batteries Cover(2)
The replacement of the Gray Cover is done in reverse
order; MAKE SURE that the Gray Cover (2) fits onto
it’s place. Secure with the 4 screws (2.6).
Batteries
Batteries weight each ~23 Kg (~50 lbs) and over.
Lift each battery only with the appropriate handle. Keep
lifting with your Knees/legs and not loading your Back.
Tires
Correct air pressure in the tires is essential for optimal
steering and stability of the Breeze S. Check air
pressure every two weeks.
Inflate to the proper air pressure: 25 ±2 psi. Breeze 4W
front tires: 20±2 psi. Golf wheels tires : 20±2 psi.
Cleaning
Use only a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never use a
hose for cleaning. This may severely damage the
power and electronic components.

12. Control and Electronics system fault troubleshooting
12.1 General control system and Front Board Troubleshoots
The front board is the center of all peripheral functions of the scooter : Lights , Horn ,
Information goes to the LCD display .
Elimination troubleshoots:
The Front Board wiring connections are all quick connectors.
If you suspect the Front Board to be faulted we recommend as a quickest way to find if the
Front Board is faulty, Doing by elimination –Just replace temporarily the Front Board with
another working one and thus make sure if the problem is within the Front Board or
somewhere else.
Check all connection of the Front Board, following the wiring diagram that can be found within
this maintenance manual.
Check main and Charging fuses, located near the rear wheels.
Also always check related function switch , as example Light does not work , first check the
light switch for continuity ,when is in ON position. Use the wiring diagram to figure the proper
terminals to check each function switch terminals.

12.3 Controller / Drive Troubleshoots
The controller is the center of all driving functions of the Breeze S: Speed control ,
acceleration , deceleration , EMB (Electro Magnetic Brake used as parking brake) , Reverse
drive , Speed limiting etc. . But still the functions of the controller are all connected to all the
wiring, connectors and as well the Front board, power units and batteries.
Elimination troubleshoots:
The controller wiring connections are all quick connectors.
If you suspect the controller to be faulted we recommend as a quickest and way to find if the
controller is faulty, Doing it by elimination –Just replace temporarily the controller with
another working one and thus make sure if the problem is within the controller or somewhere
else.
Check all connection of the controller, following the wiring diagram that can be found within
this maintenance manual.


Slow or Sluggish Movement
If the scooter does not travel at full speed and the battery condition is good, check the
position of the speed limiting control. If adjusting the speed limiting control does not remedy
the problem then there may be a non-hazardous fault.
Contact your service agent.
User Daily Checks
Throttle: With the scooter switched off, check that the throttle mechanism is not bent or
damaged and that it returns to the position when you push and release it. If there is a
problem do not continue with the safety checks and contact your service agent.
User Weekly Checks
Throttle: Put the throttle to the full speed forward position and switch the scooter on. The
scooter should not move. show you that you have switched the scooter on with the throttle
already pushed, a True Charge Trip type status indicator will display 7 Bars, whereas a single
bulb (or LED) type status indicator will flash seven times 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 forwards 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.
