The 1230 controller’s wide variety of adjustable parameters allows m
of vehicle performance to be optimized. This section provides expl
what the major tuning parameters do and instructions on how t

is described first, followed by hydraulic system tuning.
The tuning procedures should be conducted in the sequence giv
successive steps build upon the ones before. It is important that t
these programmable parameters be understood in order to take ful

The 1230’s MultiMode™ feature allows the vehicle to be
to provide two distinct operating modes. Typically, Mode 1 is op
precision maneuvering and Mode 2 for faster outdoor travel. If y

9 Hydraulic system tuning
Sheet Music Tuning the hydraulic system is more straightforward than tuning th
tem, because the parameters are not as inter-related. Nonetheless, it i
that the effect of these programmable parameters be understood;
to the description of the hydraulic parameters on pages 39–41.
If your application does not use a hydraulic throttle (stand
configuration B), it does not need to be tuned; set the Lift/Low
values to 0%, the Lift/Lower PV Max values to 100%, and the Lift/L
and Decel rates to 0. If your application includes a hydraulic throttl
wiring configuration C), use the following tuning procedure.
