Speed control - Way too fast, Need to lower speed! - no manual came with this Killer... Thank you
To lower the speed control on a Big Joe PDS 20, you can use the control handle on the steering arm. The control handle provides controls for forward and reverse speed. Additionally, you can elevate the forks approximately two feet and test drive the truck to check if high speed is cut out. If further adjustments are needed, refer to the operation section of the manual.
