 DS90, set the Current Limit to 70A, Boost Current 

to 10A, and the Boost Time to 3 seconds.

Actuator Time-Out

 (

4.4.8.2

) to “

” to match the Rhino. This value can be 

decreased for greater protection if the travel of the actuator takes less than 60 seconds to 
complete under full load. 

 

Fine tune Load Compensation 

 

Fine tune

). 

 

To finish 

 

Save a copy of the profile to your computer, and write the profile to the controller. 

 

Calibrate the throttle with the DX-HHP or the Wizard's HHP emulator

 If you do not have access to the DX-HHP, then use the Wizard’s HHP emulator. This can be found by selecting  

"Tools", "Plug-ins", "HHP Emulation" and clicking on the 4 soft keys, or pressing the "1", "2", "3" or "4" numeric 
keys on the keyboard. 

 

Warning: 

Follow these instructions carefully. The 

R

HINO

2

’s current capability is higher 

than Rhino. Ensure that these motor management parameters are set to that 
of the existing motor and no greater than that of the table below. Failure to 
follow these settings can result in damage to the scooter or serious injury to 
the user.
