Hello all,
I have finally recieved my PB-6 Throttle after it had been on backorder for almost two months. It looks great but didnt come with any instructions. I have figured out where the white and black wires go, but have no clue on how to hook up the microswitch for the "high pedal lockout" thing. I am using a Alltrax AXE7245 controller.
Does anyone out there happen to know how to hook this up?
Thanks in advance!

If it's a two wire switch, it doesn't matter which wire goes on 1 or 2 so long as one goes to 1 & the other to 2. All that a switch is comprised of is two metal strips which are connected one to each wire. When you flip the switch the metal pieces are joined together, effectively becoming a single piece of metal. Flip it the other way and the two are separated.

Electrically this is the same thing as connecting a wire to terminal 1 and another to terminal 2 on the controller and touching the two together at one pedal position, then separating them as the pedal travels to the other position. Nothing more.
