Solo Technical Manual SK74484/1
i)
beyond restrictions indicated in the vehicle’s user
manual.
ii)
in places or on surfaces where a loss of wheel grip
could be hazardous, for example on wet or steep
slopes.
iii)
if you know that the controller or other crucial
components require repair.
WARNING
Although the Solo is designed to be extremely reliable and
each unit is rigorously tested during manufacture, the
possibility of system malfunction always exists (however
small the probability). Under some conditions of system
malfunction the controller must (for safety reasons) stop the
vehicle instantaneously. Penny & Giles accept no liability for
losses of any kind arising from the unexpected stopping of the
vehicle, or arising from the improper use of the vehicle or
controller.

Safety Checks
The electronic circuits in the Solo 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 control system fails any of these checks, do not use the
vehicle and contact your service agent.

Daily Checks
Throttle
: With the vehicle 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.
