monitor the status of several components in conditions or locations where a problem with vehicle performance
has been reported.
See following WARNING.

WARNING
• The vehicle operator should not monitor the handset while the vehicle is in motion. A
technician can monitor the handset while traveling as a passenger in the vehicle. Failure to
heed this warning could result in severe personal injury or death.
The following parameters can be monitored in real time with the handset from the
monitor
menu:
Speed In
Indicates the approximate ground speed of the vehicle in miles per hour (MPH).
Throttle %
Indicates the position of the accelerator pedal from 0% (pedal not pressed) to 95 - 100% (pedal fully pressed).
This item can be monitored when the key switch is in the ON or OFF position.
Batt Voltage
Displays the current battery voltage at the speed controller.
Heatsink Temp
Displays the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the speed controller heatsink. During normal operating con-
ditions, the heatsink temperature should be below 85 °C ±5 °C (185 °F ±9 °F).
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Improper brake adjustment can sometimes cause the operating current to be higher than normal.
This higher current increases the temperature of the speed controller heatsink.
