PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS – E-242, E-242HD, E-250 

! WARNING ! 

The owner of this vehicle shall ensure that the service technicians are qualified, properly trained and obey 
the safety rules and guidelines in  OSHA and  ANSI B56 regulations, and in this manual.  

Before installing and/or programming the PMC, park the vehicle on a flat level surface, lift the wheels off 
the ground and secure with jack stands of adequate capacity. Don’t connect charger. 
Programmable controllers must be programmed using the parameter settings in this service manual, before 
connecting the motor, to avoid sudden vehicle movement and accident. 

Do  not  try  to  increase  motor  speed  by  changing  parameter  settings  in  the  speed  controller;  it  can  cause 
accident and severe damage to the motor.
