release too quickly, you may hear the steering servo jump but the
LED may not stay on. Simply press the button again until the LED
shines GREEN, and then release.
2. Apply forward throttle. The LED will turn off until full throttle power
is reached. At full throttle, the LED will shine GREEN.
3. Move the trigger forward to apply the brakes. Note that braking
control is fully proportional. The LED will turn off until full braking
power is reached. At full brakes, the LED will shine GREEN.
4. Return the throttle trigger to neutral. The LED will shine GREEN.
5. Move the throttle trigger forward again to engage reverse (Profile
#1). The LED will turn off. Once full reverse power is reached, the
LED will shine GREEN.
6. To stop, return the throttle trigger to neutral. Note that there is
no programmed delay when changing from reverse to forward.
Use caution to avoid slamming the speed control from reverse to
forward. On high-traction surfaces, this could result in transmission
or driveline damage.
7. To turn the XL-5 HV off, press and hold the EZ-Set button for 1½
seconds or until the green LED turns off.
8. The XL-5 HV is equipped with thermal shutdown protection to
guard against overheating caused by excessive current flow. If
the operating temperature exceeds safe limits, the XL-5 HV will
automatically shut down. The LED on the face of the XL-5 HV will
rapidly blink red, even if the throttle trigger is moved back and
forth. Once the temperature returns to a safe level, the XL-5 HV will
once again function normally.
XL-5 HV Profile Selection
The speed control is factory set to Trail Mode (100% forward, brakes,
and reverse; added brake drag when the throttle trigger is at neutral).
To activate full power without the additional brake drag (Sport Mode),
disable reverse (Race Mode), allow 50% power (patented Training
Mode), or set immediate reverse (Crawl Mode), follow these steps. The
speed control should be connected to the receiver and the transmitter
adjusted as described previously. The profiles are selected by entering
the programming mode.
