4.
With the brake/seat switch closed, select a direction and operate the
throttle. The motor should begin to turn in the selected direction. If it
does not, verify the wiring to the forward/reverse switches, forward/
reverse contactors, and motor. The motor should run proportionally
faster with increasing throttle. If not, refer to Section 5.
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,
brake, emergency reverse, and mode switches. Cycle each switch in
turn, observing the programmer. Each input should show the correct
state on the programmer.
6.
Specific material handling directives, such as prEN1175, require testing
of the controller’s fault detection circuitry. This can be done as follows:
a) Disconnect the battery and make sure the keyswitch is off.
b) Using an inline fuse holder fitted with a 10-amp fuse and
alligator clips, connect the controller’s M- and B- terminals.
c) Turn the keyswitch on, release the brake, and apply the throttle.
The motor should not operate, and the direction contactors
should not pull in.
d) Leave the keyswitch on and remove the inline fuse wire. The
vehicle status should continue to remain off.
e) Cycle the keyswitch off and on, release the brake, and apply the
throttle. The vehicle should now operate normally.
7.
Take the vehicle off the blocks and drive it in a clear area. It should have
smooth acceleration and good top speed.
8.
Test the plug braking of the vehicle. Verify that the plug braking option
is as desired (variable or fixed).
9.
Verify that all options, such as high pedal disable (HPD), static return
to off (SRO), and anti-tiedown, are as desired.
10.
On walkies, check to see whether the emergency reverse (belly button)
feature is working correctly. If you have the optional emergency reverse
check wiring, verify that the circuit is operational by momentarily
disconnecting one of the emergency reverse wires. The vehicle should
be limited to 15% speed and a fault indicated.
11.
If you used a programmer, disconnect it when you have completed the
checkout procedure.
