Re: (ET) GE controller
I cannot find my 262FS1 on the FSIP website. Do see 262 EV1, 48v.
260/20A. The case is exactly like mine and likely yours. I guess the
fwd/rev switch can be employed or not. Jerry’s instructions had me using
the reverse switch inside the oem speed controller which meant I went
fwd/rev the old fashioned way with the oem controller.
Say the word and I’ll send Jerry’s instruction.
Cheers, Jack
