    My 312B had override toggles behind the righthand armrest. When the non-momentary toggle is thrown, all electronics shutdown. Then, using the momentary toggle, you can, well, toggle, the throttle up and down. My coworkers would inadvertently flip the switch with a hardhat or thermos behind the seat.

    more info... the panel stays lit for 3 or 4 seconds while displaying 888 where power range is normally. I have isolated voltage to panel off the switch and it is good to panel when the panel goes blank. anybody know what 888 code indicates?
