¾ Seven different operator performance parameters can be programmed by a service technician/manager.
¾ Operator-specific PIN-Key Codes (passwords) can be created for up to 10 operators (Requires optional key pad).
¾ Seven different performance parameters can be programmed for up to 10 operators (Requires optional key pad).
¾ The person programming the truck must enter the “Special Truck Mode” in order to change any operator performance or service parameters.
1. With the truck OFF, press and hold down either the right or left hand side horn buttons on the control handle.
2. With the horn button depressed, turn the key switch to the ON position. If the truck is equipped with an optional key pad enter the operator-specific PIN-key code then press the green ON (I) key on the keypad. Note: The factory default operator-specific PIN-key code for operator 1 is "1".
Important: If access is denied, ensure that Service Parameter #39 is programmed to allow access. See page 5, "Programming Service Parameters" for more details.
3. Continue to hold down the horn button while the numerical field (see Figure 1) cycles through the following functions:
¾ H = Hour Meters
¾ E = Error Codes
¾ P = Parameters
¾ Pn = Hardware and Software Part Numbers
¾ D = Display LED (Light Emitting Diode) Test
4. Release the horn button when the desired function is displayed.
Note: If the horn button is inadvertently released at the wrong time, simply turn off the truck and start over.

3. Up to 50 error codes can be displayed. The error codes are divided into 2 groups: C = Caution and E = Error.
Use the directional/speed control handle to scroll through the last 50 error codes.
Note: The error code will be display on the left hand side of the display. Rotate the directional/speed control handle towards the forks to scroll through error codes 1 through 50. Rotate the directional/speed control handle away from the forks to scrolls through error codes 50 through 1.
4. When the handle is released at a chosen history number (1-50), the display first shows the caution or error code and then the activity hour (hour meter "b") the fault occurred.
5. To exit the Error Code (E) Function, turn the truck OFF.
1. Enter the Part Numbers (Pn) Function by following the steps provided on page 1 --- "Enter Special Truck Mode".
2. Continue to hold the horn button until "Pn" is displayed then release the button.
3. Use the directional/speed control to scroll through the following information:
¾ PA = Power Amplifier = Software version and build No. of Controller (for example: 3.00 = Version 3, build 000)
¾
¾ SPn = Software Part Number (for example: /701-/750 = Walkie, 751-/800 = End Rider, 851-/900 = Center Rider/Tow Tractor
¾ HPN = Hardware Part Number

This parameter controls the truck's acceleration rate from 0 mph to maximum preset speed.
4 This parameter controls the truck's braking characteristics when the directional/speed control handle is returned to the neutral position (no demand for opposite direction).
NOTE: To program the operator performance parameters listed below, Service Parameter #39 must be preset to a value of either 1 or 3 if the truck is equipped with an optional keypad.
This parameter controls the truck's maximum speed in walking speed mode (Coast Control or Turtle Speed engaged mode on models 8HBE30.40, 8HBC30.40).

When parameters 1 through 7, and 10 are viewed with the service key, the Service Parameter Number (left side of display) and the Operator Number (right side of display) are shown. (See example below).
Note: All truck parameters can be viewed; however, not all parameters can be changed. Access to operator performance parameters (1 through 7) shown on page 4 is governed by the value set in Service Parameter #39.
As the Service Parameter Number display progresses through parameters 1 and 2 through 10, the display will roll over to the next operator number. After all operators numbers and service parameters numbers are scrolled through, service parameters number 11 through 40 will follow).
(Up to 10 Operator Numbers can be displayed)
(Up to 7 Operator Performance Parameters can be programmed)
10 = PIN-code key 2 = Operator #2
Note: To quickly display a service parameter, rotate the directional/speed control away from the forks (sequence backwards through the parameters). Rotating the directional/speed control towards the forks will display parameters 1 through 10 only.
