Hmmm, Nothin' happening.
Last week when I was first trying to figure these wiring directions,
I emailed the seller with a few questions.
Hello,
I purchased your 1,800W brushless motor with controller & hand throttle.
It did not come with a manual or instructions.
I have a few questions about instilling it.
I read & understand the wires interface definition.
but, it does not cover everything.
1. What is the thick green wire for? Is it needed?
2. there are a couple of extra plug ins that are not listed on the wire interface definition. Are they needed?
3. many electrical systems that have a speed controller operating a motor also have a solenoid wired into the motor circuit. Is this needed or recommended for this motor controller combo?
their answer:
Dear friend
Pls don't worry,and check the Wiring diagram,

And hope this can help you, if you tsil have any question, we hope you can take a picture about the wires,then this will be better help us confirm it,ok?
have a nice day
Um, OK that was NOT very helpful
I can figure this out!
So, I proceeded to mount everything on the kart
& as you seen, nothin' happened
I emailed the seller again:
I purchased this motor controller throttle combo pack.
I hooked it up as per the wiring directions & it does NOTHING.
It does NOT hum, rotate or do anything.
I checked, it's getting 48V to controller & the throttle shows 4.5V when twisted
Very disappointed.
Their answer:
Hi,Pls don't worry,and firstly we need confirm if you have contact it as our Wiring diagram?If yes, pls don't worry, could you pls take some picture about your wires contact ok? the item is all have text before we send out, so they are no problem, maybe some wires don't contact correct,so pls offer us some picture to help us confirm it,ok?
Have a nice day
I sent back:
I have everything contact correct, just as your wiring definition describes. The Thick Red (+) coming out of the controller is hooked to the positive (+) of a 48V battery pack (4- 12V batteries wired in series) & the Thick Black (-) coming out of the controller is hooked to the negative (-) of the battery pack. The Thick Blue coming out of the controller is hooked to the Thick Blue coming out of the motor. The Thick Yellow coming out of the controller is hooked to the Thick Yellow coming out of the motor & the Thick Green coming out of the controller is hooked to the Thick Green coming out of the motor. The 5- wire plug coming out of the controller is hooked to the 5 wire plug coming out of the motor. The 3-wire throttle plug coming out of the controller is hooked to the supplied throttle (wire colors match). The Ignition switch plug coming out of the controller is hooked to a standard toggle switch. Here is a video, you can see my set up for yourself.

Dear friend

Ok, there was nothing in the directions about a 3 way forward reverse switch
...& I don't remember seeing a plug in coming from the controller, marked as such.
