Kids keep bumping Forward Reverse switch while driving

[Sergio]

One difference I noticed is that a lot of folks that commented on the "flip" have a Series cart with an after market FNR that does not have that "locking tab" that goes into the body.

Also, since You have an Altrax controller, if the cart was flipped to reverse while moving forward it would have engaged the "plug brake".

Depending on how much current you have in that setting it could be a very harsh brake.

The "plug brake" current setting is also what controls how much torque you get when you take your foot off the brake on an incline and the cart starts rolling backwards.

Looks like I have this set to 250 amps in Toolkit. It is literally like hitting a brick wall when my kid bumps the switch.

LOL, love the new sig. Sergio, that's a good observation on the Alltrax. Something to keep in mind for the future.

And be sure to swap the Blue wire with the White wire (or the two (2) outside wires) so your Fwd position will still be the left side rocker and the Rev will still be the right side rocker.

You would laugh if you removed a DS cover and find it is only a 1" circular hole. Sometimes the hole does have to be lowered, but still easy and covered by the large switch cover.

Yep. I don’t have a roof on mine.....did this from day one.

good info here.

the grandkids feet have hit mine a couple times too, turning around may work for me
my braking isn't as hard and i always have the kids sitting, no one gets thrown anywhere

My 3yo went flying from the seat and smacked his head on the dash before ending up in the footwell. "Kinda funny" it was not.

Sounds like you need some seatbelts.

Yeah I think I might. What's good option for a 2010 Precedent? Really only need a belt for the front passenger.
