Cranking the vehicle engine
while EZ-Steer system with T2
technology is powered on
1. Power Down EZ-Steer system with T2 technology before
starting the vehicle engine
Corroded or lose connectors, or
long/narrow wires may result in
occasional power drops to the
EZ-Steer system
1. Wire the EZ-Steer system power cable direct to the vehicle
battery.
2. You may want to install a switch into the EZ-Steer system
power cable so you can still turn EZ-Steer system off when
the vehicle is not in use
3. Ensure the power supply is continuous 7 amps, 12-15.5 VDC
The foam wheel slips on the
vehicles steering wheel
1. Increase tension on the EZ-Steer motor mount by sliding the
motor mount closer to the steering wheel
2. If the steering wheel is very slippery then put a steering
wheel cover on it, or wrap the steering wheel in athletic tape
(e.g. Tennis racquet handle tape).
EZ-Steer controller not mounted
correctly and properly
1. Ensure the EZ-Steer controller is bolted down solidly to the
vehicle.
2. Ensure the EZ-Steer controller is not mounted on a side wall,
and that it is not mounted upside down
3. Ensure there is no vibration
