INSTALLATION CHECKOUT

Before operating the vehicle, carefully complete the following checkout proce-
dure. If you find a problem during the checkout, refer to the diagnostics and
troubleshooting section (Section 5) for further information.
The installation checkout can be conducted with or without the handheld
programmer. The checkout procedure is easier with a programmer. Otherwise,
observe the Status LED for codes.
Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheel(s) off
the ground before beginning these tests.
Turn the keyswitch off and make sure that the brake is
applied (brake switch open), the throttle is in neutral, and
the forward/reverse switches are open.
Do not stand, or allow anyone else to stand, directly in
front of or behind the vehicle during the tests.
1. If a programmer is available, connect it to the programmer connector.
2. Turn the keyswitch on. The programmer should "power up" with an
initial display, and the controller's Status LED should begin steadily
blinking a single flash. If neither happens, check for continuity in the
keyswitch circuit and controller ground.
3. If you are using a programmer, put it into the fault mode by entering
the System Faults menu (Fault » System Faults). The display should
indicate "Currently no faults."
Release the brake (close the brake switch). To do this on a walkie,
pull the tiller down to the operating position. The LED should continue
blinking a single flash and the programmer should continue to indicate
no faults. If there is a problem, the LED will flash a diagnostic code and
the programmer will display a diagnostic message. If you are conducting
the checkout without a programmer, look up the LED diagnostic code
in Section 5: Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
When the problem has been corrected, it may be necessary to cycle
the brake in order to clear the fault code.
4. With the brake released, 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.
