MPT 1000 48V PRECISION DRIVE SYSTEM
™
Precision Drive System™ (PDS) vehicles are operated in one of four modes or “performance options”. All options have stan-
dard features that control, protect and diagnose the vehicle.
PDS vehicles operate only when the Run - Tow/Maintenance switch is in the ’RUN’ position.
Performance Options
The options are defined as follows:
Fig. 7 Performance Options
The No Plug performance option: The vehicle’s top speed is sensed and regulated directly by the controller and the pedal-up
braking is at the strongest level.
3. The Blue Plug performance option: The vehicle’s top speed is sensed and regulated directly by the controller and the
pedal-up braking feel is milder.
4. The Yellow Plug performance option: The vehicle’s top speed is sensed and regulated directly by the controller and the
pedal-up braking is at the strongest level.
5. The Red Plug performance option: The vehicle’s top speed is sensed and regulated directly by the controller and the
pedal-up braking feel is milder.
The vehicle performance option can be determined by placing the vehicle in diagnostic mode. See Technician’s Repair and
Service Manual. The number of beeps heard immediately after entering diagnostic mode corresponds to the above option
numbers.
Regenerative Braking
To prevent the possibility of loss of control that could cause severe injury or
death, use service brake to control speed. The PDS system is not a substitute for
the service brake.
PDS models are equipped with a regenerative motor control system.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the vehicle attempts to exceed the specified top speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or released
the regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the specified top speed (the warning beeper will not sound).
When the regenerative braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power which is returned
to the batteries.
