Forward in slow speed only?

TheWiltz · 05-01-2012, 09:07 PM

My understanding is the 2003 txt series motor has two speeds. When in reverse it only goes the slow speed. (or at least that is the effect you get). How would I wire forward to run only at the slower speed?

Mykids will be driving the cart around the yard, and Id like to limit them to a slow speed at first... Maybe it would be easier to just build a stop for the pedal?

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

There is a simple way. You will need a DMM and the ability to read + and - voltage...
Have you got those things?

LOL! What's are volts, and I only read English...

Jump the orange wire to the other MS on the FNR?

That might be worth a try. But I think you will get the reverse buzzer going that way too and you don't want to disconnect that with kids playing with the cart. I was thinking more in terms of a secret toggle switch.

Yes yes. Didn't think of that. Let me see if I can figure out the wiring tomorrow.

Thanks.

Looks like you could simply move the orange wire to the other terminal on MS-4.
That would give you half speed in F & R and still get the beeper in R.

You could wire a "Secret" switch or a keyed switch into the Orange wire so you could run it at full speed when desired, but it would be full speed in both F & R.

Yes a 3 position switch could give you all 3 options.
