I recently purchased a mini excavator 30NX and am just learning about it. I have a couple questions that I can't find anywhere else. #1 - My serial number is WE001105. Can you advise me of the production year (or how to read it)? #2 - Is there a pattern change switch on that year / model that I can access to change? Its location? Or is it a hose change for pattern change? My left "stick" is in the swing pattern when pushed forward, which really makes it difficult for me to operate. I am looking for the ISO pattern where its left side / right side swing and boom out and in on the forward and back. If there is ANYONE on this site that can help me out I would greatly appreciate it! Kevin
Good day Kevin Not sure which make we are talking? Kind regards Uffex
Google tells me that IHI called one of their mini's "30NX". Google also tells me that the pattern changer is somewhere in the left side of the machine, behind either a outside door or under a cover plate on the floor or in the column under the lockout lever. Google might even be right . . .
Good day Missing from Google but in the parts book "C" . Kind regards Uffex
Sorry fellas... Yes, it's an IHI 30NX. And after checking around a bit, I believe it is a 1999 or 2000. I will do a little deeper dive on the machine itself and take a couple photos. Google does not like that machine and directs me to a parts manual. There are not even any videos showing how to change pattern on that particular machine. Thanks for the insights that you have so far.
Change a IHI Excavator Control Scheme | Durante Rentals IHI's quick-changing operating pattern selector (A to F Quick change valve) allows you to change a IHI excavator control scheme with the flip of a switch. duranterentals.com
I saw that one Acoals... but it is on a 35NX. When I checked under the flip panel, there is only a control valve with no changing switch in view. I think I am going to just take off the furniture on the left side of the machine to get a better look around in there. I am actually pretty good at research and/or finding videos, but I was hoping someone had this exact machine and could just say its "right here" and then "do this". I am an old farm kid that my wheelhouse is more combines and catapillars.
It might not be there, some of the older stuff didn't have it.
Good day Follow the lines from the remote control valve. Kind regards Uffex
