I need a wiring diagram or just a little advice. The drive quit. The operator reported that smoke came out from around the motor before it quit. I checked the fuses and they are OK. I jacked up the unit and the motor works if you manually close the contactors but the hand controls only work for lifting and lowering. Any help is appreciated.
