Speed

I have a WAV50-118 that we own and am renting one for the holiday season. The rental doesn't change speeds (Go faster) when you open the rear interlocking gates. So it is very slow all the time. Is there a way to make the speed settings the same as the one we own? No its not set on turtle mode.

A lot of things need calibrated and changed with the handset. First is to check if both gate switches are working (2 on each gate). Then with the handset, calibrated all handle pots. Low speed needs set to 75%, max speed needs set to 100%.

Fact of the week
