Could be worse - your manual could have been a printout of the DC
motor manual, with a word doc that you were supposed to print out and
then paste (or tape) into the manual producing the AC motor manual.
Of course, it was also wrong.
I spent about a year working with the manual to the letter only to
realize that it would never, ever work. That's when I threw it out
and started from scratch. This included rewiring ALL of the relays
and such.
My suggestion: find someone that is willing to give you a block or
wiring diagram for your controller and charger. I'd give you mine,
but it is for the AC24 motor and the PFC-20 charger. (Oh, and it no
longer exists on my system somehow, not sure how I lost it).
Best of luck,
Peter
