Troubleshooting Common Issues

Like any mechanical system, hand controls can experience issues. Here are some common problems and their solutions:

No Acceleration or Weak Acceleration

• Check Cable Connections: Ensure the accelerator cable is securely connected to both the control unit and the vehicle’s throttle system.
• Inspect the Control Unit: Look for any damage or loose components within the control unit itself.

Difficulty Braking

• Check Brake Cable: Ensure the brake cable is properly connected and adjusted. A loose or misaligned cable can significantly impact braking performance.
• Bleed the Brake Lines: Air in the brake lines can cause a spongy brake pedal feel, which can be exacerbated with hand controls.
