Wait, I had this backwards. I thought we *were* discussing the EV-1 vehicle, not the forklift controller. If we're talking about the forklift controller I can help! I stripped mine down to the bare minimum required to make it run. Here is a link to an album, where you should be able to click on individual high-res pictures: https://imgur.com/a/Y560sqp Basically you can ignore almost everything and just gut it right down to its essentials to get the motor to run. After cutting out all excess stuff out, you're left with some pretty minimal connections to make: - The motor connects to positive. - One motor field connects to one motor armature, doens't matter which for testing, it just sets direction. - The motor connects to the speed controller. - The speed controller connects to negative. - The foot pedal potentiometer connects to the controller (pin 29?) - The foot pedal "power on" switch connects to a contactor, or a dummy load to fool it to thinking there's a contactor there. (pin 41, through dummy load to positive?) I think that's all, there might be a wire or two I'm missing but, there you go. Does that help? I don't have it in front of me and I'm quite rusty since it was a year ago that I figured this out, got it working, and then abandoned it for another controller... but I'm pretty sure I could walk you through it if need be. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
