Re: Problem with wireless

We bought connectors specifically intended for the window motors, but I have no idea where we got them. There have been reports of jaguars and window motors not mixing well, and admittedly we have had issues with our forklift motor, so I'd try the jags, but don't be surprised if you switch to a victor quickly.
As I understand it, if you don't need the anti-back drive functionality on the window motors (which we do, other wise our forklift would slowly come back to earth) you can remove the locking pins, a process which is described somewhere else. In theory, it will play more nicely with the jaguars then.
