Crown wp3020 not switching to Rabbit mode

The pallet truck is driving slow and I'm thinking it is in turtle mode not sure how the 3 pin switch works Because of tried bypassing it and nothing seems to happen just wondering if any of you have come across a problem like this

Also had no drive the other day I adjusted the microswitch for the handle position now unit will not go in to rabbit mode and is stuck in Turtle mode just wondering if I may have damaged something

When you say "stuck in turtle mode"...when you release the throttle, does the brake lock on right away? The 2 switches on the control arm pivot control different systems. The first "brake override switch" is used for very close situations where the handle needs to be up close to the truck. The other switch is for normal operation. Unplug that harness and check to see if the switches are working (ohm test with a meter)

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
