Magic Pie 5 Brake Levers...

[Harpo]

I'm installing a Magic Pie 5 w/internal controller.  If I do not use the supplied brake levers, must I short those connections at the harness for the motor to operate?

Thanks in advance,
Harpo

Hi Harpo,

Actually, just the opposite, as the contacts or circuit must be OPEN for the controller to operate.

I.E. The Magic Pie brakes are Normally Open (N.O.) and close when braking is applied.

But I have to say I always recommend using brake switches for safety reasons. For me they have proved more than helpful, more than once... just sayin.
