throttle. e motor should begin to turn in the selected direction. If it
turns in the wrong direction, first verify the wiring to the forward and
reverse switches. If the wiring is correct, turn o the controller, discon-
nect the battery, and exchange the motor’s field connections (
F1 and F2)

mer. e programmer should display the correct status for each switch.
