Page 13: Master Controller Overview
When turning on the MASTER Controller be careful not to press any button other than the power switch, specifically the Throttle Input. On start-up the controller runs through a calibration process, if the Throttle Input is not centered then the AGITO may accelerate unexpectedly. The calibration process finishes when the main menu screen appears. -
Page 14: Function Switch
FUNCTION SWITCH – Emergency Brake: In Firmware R3, this switch is set to Emergency Brake, switching this during operation will command the AGITO to stop as quickly as possible and hold the AGITO in position. There are three modes of operation, AUTO, UP & DOWN, these are explained later in the manual. -
Page 15: Master User Interface
Always ensure that AGITO is stationary and safely positioned prior to using Menus. INITIAL START-UP / CALIBRATION SCREEN This page gives the user the option to calibrate the steering of the AGITO, with or without maintaining any Trim adjustments. There is also the option to proceed without Calibration, we do not recommend skipping the Calibration process, but there are occasions when it may not be possible. - Page 16 MASTER. Operating AGITO with either a RED RF Signal Strength or Battery indicator is not recommended. Always resolve the issue before continuing with the use of AGITO.

AGITO Driving the AGITO along a 5-meter line will confirm that the alignment is correct, if the system does not follow the line check the mechanical tracking of the “front end”.
