6. Operating Instructions

The DK72300S controller features a self-learning function to optimize performance with your motor. Follow these steps to activate and complete the self-learning mode:

1. Initiate Self-Learning:
   • Turn the throttle handle to its maximum position (screw it to the end).
   • Open the electric door lock (turn on the vehicle's power).
   • Pinch the brake lever six times. This action must be completed within five seconds.
2. Observe Tire Reversal: At this point, the vehicle will enter self-learning mode, and the tire will begin to reverse.
3. Complete Self-Learning: Twist the throttle handle once again. The tire will now turn in the forward direction.
4. Save Parameters: Finally, close the electric door lock (turn off the vehicle's power). This action saves the learned parameters and completes the self-learning process.

Instructional Video: Self-Learning Mode Setup

Video Description: This video demonstrates the self-learning mode setup for an electric scooter. It shows the user turning the throttle handle, activating the electric door lock, performing six quick brake pinches, observing the tire reverse, twisting the handle again for forward rotation, and finally closing the electric door lock to save the settings. This process calibrates the controller to the motor.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Buachois DK72300S controller, consider the following maintenance guidelines:
