ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 79Service Manual – Advenger, 2800ST, 3800ST, BR 755, BR 855Curtis Speed Control Installation Checkout ProcedureAfter installing a controller and before operating the vehicle, carefully complete the following checkout procedure. If you find a problem duringcheckout, refer to the Curtis programmer manual for more information.The installation checkout can be conducted with or without the handheld programmer. The checkout procedure is easier with a programmerotherwise observe the Status LED for codes (located on operator panel wand indicator light).WARNING!Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheel off the ground before beginning these tests.Turn the key switch off and make sure that the seat switch is open, and the throttle (pedal) is in neutral.Do not stand, or allow anyone else to stand, directly in front of or behind the vehicle during the tests.Remove the electrical panel to access the controller.1 Observe the error status fault indicator on the operator control panel. If a programmer is available, connect it to the programmer plug-inport2 Sit on the seat and turn the key switch on. The programmer should “power up” with an initial display. If neither happens, check forcontinuity in the key switch circuit and controller ground.3 If you are using a programmer, put it into diagnostic mode by pressing the DIAGNOSTICS key.• If there is no error detected, the display should indicate “No Faults Found”. Note: Before pressing the diagnostics key, wait untilmodel # screen appears, if the throttle is activated prior to this screen appearing the controller will shut down.• If there is a problem, the control panel will flash a diagnostic code and the programmer will display a diagnostic message. If you areconducting the checkout without a programmer, refer to the Status LED Fault Codes table in “Speed Control Error Flash Codes” todiagnose the cause.4 When the problem has been corrected, it may be necessary to cycle the key or seat switch to clear the fault code.5 While sitting on the seat, operate the throttle. The motor should begin to turn in the selected direction. If it does not, verify the wiring tothe controller, and the motor. The motor should run proportionally faster with increasing throttle. If not, refer to the Curtis manual.6 Put the programmer into test mode by pressing the TEST key. Scroll down to observe the status of the forward, reverse and brake switch.Cycle each switch in turn, observing the programmer. Each input should show the correct state on the programmer.7 Take the vehicle off the blocks and drive it in an open area. It should have smooth acceleration and good top speed.
