Curtis 1268 Manual,

Rev. D

disconnect the battery, and exchange the motor’s field connections (

F1

and

F2

) on the controller. The motor should now turn in the proper

direction. If you are using a programmer, you can use the parameter

FIELD

DIR SWAP

to change the motor field output without physically changing

the wiring (see page 25).

The motor should run proportionally faster with increasing throttle.

If it does not, refer to Section 6.

5. If you are using a programmer, go to the Monitor menu. Scroll down

to observe the status of the switches:

Mode *

Foot Input (pedal switch)

Key Input

Forward Input

Reverse Input

Mode Switch *

Cycle each switch in turn, observing the programmer. The programmer

should display the correct status for each switch.

* “Mode Switch” tells you the physical status of the mode switch (open

or closed). “Mode” is a monitor value that tells you the mode in which
the vehicle is currently operating. This may not correspond to the status
of the mode switch—for example, if the

MODE AFTER KEY

parameter is set

to Off and the mode switch was flipped while the vehicle was being
operated.

6. Take the vehicle down off the blocks and drive it in a clear area. It

should have smooth acceleration and good top speed. Recommended
procedures for tuning the vehicle’s driving characteristics are presented
in Section 5: Tuning Guide.

7. Test the deceleration and braking of the vehicle.

8. Verify that all options, such as static return to off (SRO), electromagnetic

brake (or WalkAway

), and reverse signal are as desired.

9. If you used a programmer, disconnect it when you have completed the

checkout procedure, to minimize battery discharge.
