Hello folks,
I have recently bought a Hinomoto N249 from a friend, its in a very tidy condition having only one 149 hours from new. Its got the (Space Shuttle) control panel found on some of the N series that controls the 3PH. Its not been a problem as you only use the top few switches to control the lift arms however its become temperamental and awkward (must be female). It may well have suffered an electronic fault/dry joint having been so little used.
In light of the scarcity of replacement parts I was thinking that it might be possible to bypass the panel in favor of some manual switching, I think I read somewhere that someone had done this.
Is it doable or am I talking nonsense? or can anyone suggest another idea? A wiring diagram would be useful but realistically think they don't exist in an English format.
Thanks for reading this, it would good to keep the old girl running a bit longer.
