Can anybody provide instructions on calibrating the throttle pot after you install a new one? Thanks.

can you clarify which one you replaced?
there are throttle sensors (which are in the throttle body and are not adjustable)
and there are pedal position sensors (which are in the pedal control and are adjustable)

now as kevin stated those figures are for the pedal position sensors
i looked in the p7000 engine control manual and it shows this:
key on (engine stopped)pedal fully depressed:
sensor1: 4.2v (terminal 106)
sensor2: 2v (terminal 98)

key on (engine stopped) pedal fully released
sensor1: 0.6v (terminal 106)
sensor2: 0.3v (terminal 98)

not sure where he got his info from but appears to be reversed, maybe dyslexia..it happens ;o)

having a serial number of the truck might be helpful to some degree but as for this setting it probably isnt going to change much between the models and years.

sensor 1:
At idle......67V-.87V
Keyon engine off/ Pedal depressed:.67-.87V
KOEO/ pedal released: 4.4-4.6 V

Sensor 2:
Idle......335-.435V

That is for learning if I recall. But I believe what I am looking for is voltages when pedal is in different positions to get the sensor positioned correctly. Thanks.

In this week’s Forkliftaction News we look at two topics coming out of LogiMAT 2025 held in Stuttgart in March. The first was the large increase in exhibitors coming from China who are making it clear they have their sights set on markets outside of China (see story). The second is a closer look at what was the main theme of the trade show - the growing rise in automation, how it is changing the sector and how enthusiastically it is being embraced by younger generations...

Fact of the week
Dublin's Sean O'Casey foot-bridge is a swinging bridge which opens to allow ship passage. It was unable to open for four years from 2010 because the hand-held remote control was lost. Finally a new remote was developed and the bridge opened again in 2014.
