➀
-B Tuning the Throttle Max
step 1. Jack the vehicle wheels up off the ground so that they spin freely.
step 2. Plug the 1313 programmer into the controller and turn on the
keyswitch and interlock switch (if used).
step 3. When the programmer instructs you to select a menu, select the
Monitor Menu. The Throttle % should be visible at the top of
the display. You will need to reference the value displayed here.
step 4. Rotate the throttle forward to its maximum speed position and
observe the Throttle % value. This value should be 100%. If it
is less than 100%, the Throttle Max parameter value must be
decreased to attain full controller output at the maximum throt-
tle position. Use the programmer to decrease the Throttle Max
parameter value, and repeat this step until the value is 100%.
step 5. Now that the full throttle position results in a 100% value for
Throttle %, slowly reduce throttle until the Throttle % value
drops below 100% and note the throttle position. This represents
the extra range of motion allowed by the throttle mechanism. If
this range is large, you may wish to decrease it by increasing the
Throttle Max parameter value. This will provide a larger active
throttle range and more vehicle control. Using the programmer,
increase the Throttle Max parameter value and repeat the test
until an appropriate amount of extra range is attained.
step 6. If a bidirectional (wigwag) throttle assembly is being used, repeat
the procedure for the reverse direction. The Throttle Max value
should be selected such that the throttle operates correctly in
both forward and reverse.
