MONITOR MENU

The monitor menu is accessed by using the up or down arrow to scroll to monitor and pressing the right arrow
key to activate the menu. All information in the monitor menu is updated in real time, allowing the trained tech-
nician to troubleshoot the vehicle by monitoring the handset as the key switch is cycled, Forward/Reverse
switch is activated, etc.
Since the monitor menu is updated while the vehicle is in operation, the trained technician has the ability to
monitor the status of several components in conditions or locations where a problem with vehicle performance
has been reported. See following WARNING.

WARNING
• The vehicle operator should not monitor the handset while the vehicle is in motion. A
technician can monitor the handset while traveling as a passenger in the vehicle. Failure to
heed this warning could result in severe personal injury or death.
The following parameters can be monitored in real time with the handset from the monitor menu:
Throttle

This item can be monitored when the key switch is in the ON or OFF position.
Batt Voltage

Heatsink
Displays the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the speed controller heatsink. During normal operating con-
ditions, the heatsink temperature should be below 85 °C ±5 °C (185 °F ±9 °F). See following NOTE.
NOTE: Improper brake adjustment can sometimes cause the operating current to be higher than normal.
This higher current increases the temperature of the speed controller heatsink.
