Hello,

I've inherited responsibility of an old fork truck, it works reasonably well except it has about a quarter amp current draw on the battery at all times. If I unplug the alternator, the parasitic drain drops to a few milliamps. Somebody has rewired the alternator on this machine, I don't believe it uses the charge indicator at all any longer nor is battery voltage to the internal regulator interrupted by the ignition switch like I would expect.

Does anyone know where I can legally find wiring diagrams for this machine? I see manuals for sale online, but they do not look like legitimate sellers. It is a H60XM with serial number H177B36725Z.

Thank you!!
