INSTALLATION CHECKOUT FOR THE CURTIS SPEED CONTROLLER
SAFETY!
The 1228 controller is inherently a high power device. When working around any battery powered vehicle, proper safety precautions
should be taken. These include, but are not limited to: proper training, wearing eye protection, avoiding loose clothing and jewelry, and
using insulated wrenches.
After installing a controller and before operating the vehicle, carefully complete the following checkout procedure. If you fi nd a problem during the
checkout, refer to the DIAGNOSTICS section of this chapter for further information.
The installation checkout can be conducted with or without the handheld programmer. The checkout procedure is easier with a programmer
otherwise observe the Status LED for codes (located on operator panel wand indicator light). The part number of the handheld programmer is
56409441 . NOTE: If you have a programmer with a serial number before 2100 you will need to update your programmer. A free upgrade kit is
available, order part number 56409822 . Also a different quad 4 pin programmer cable (PN 56409823 ) is needed to link the programmer to the
controller plug-in port.
WARNING!
Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheel off the ground before beginning these tests.
Turn the key switch off and make sure that the seat switch is open, and the throttle is in neutral.
Do not stand, or allow anyone else to stand, directly in front of or behind the vehicle during the tests.
1 Remove electrical panel to access controller then observe LED status light on touch pad operator panel wand indicator light. If a programmer
is available, connect it to the programmer plug-in port.
2 Sit on the seat and turn the key switch on. The programmer should “power up” with an initial display. If neither happens, check for continuity
in the key switch circuit and controller ground.
3 If you are using a programmer, put it into the diagnostic mode by pressing the DIAGNOSTICS key. The display should indicate “No Faults
Found”. Note: Before pressing the diagnostics key, wait until model # screen appears, if the throttle is activated prior to this screen appearing
the controller will shut down.
• If there is a problem, the LED will fl ash a diagnostic code and the programmer will display a diagnostic message. If you are conducting the
checkout without a programmer, look up the LED diagnostic code in the DIAGNOSTICS section of this chapter (Table 1) .
• When the problem has been corrected, it may be necessary to cycle the key or seat switch to clear the fault code.
4 While sitting on the seat, operate the throttle. The motor should begin to turn in the selected direction. If it does not, verify the wiring to the
controller, and the motor. The motor should run proportionally faster with increasing throttle. If not, refer to the DIAGNOSTICS section of this
chapter (Table 1) .
5 If you are using a programmer, put it into the test mode by pressing the TEST key. Scroll down to observe the status of the forward, reverse
and brake switch. Cycle each switch in turn, observing the programmer. Each input should show the correct state on the programmer.
6 Take the vehicle off the blocks and drive it in an open area. It should have smooth acceleration and good top speed.
