Can anyone help, I have a Takeuchi TB228, on the front of the joysticks there is a trigger like button, anyone know what they are for?
Or anyone have a wiring diagram so I can figure it out?

It's a vario flow for the aux I believe

Oh wow ok, I didnt even know it had such a thing, how does it work? The manual doesnt seem to give much away!

Just got the fixed grab and rotator fitted to the machine. Such an impressive tool, cant wait to get this on a job.

I can supply these if anyone is looking!

It's for factory fitted 3rd service ( hydraulic quick hitch) & if it's not piped it's a spare button. It is earth switched so if you wanted to use it for a diverter valve you may have to run it though a relay

Thanks,

I only have a breaker line factory fitted with the slider controls on the left joystick.

So if I trace these wires for the trigger button it sounds like it might be ideal to switch a diverter

 

Ideally I'd install a factory extra aux but who knows how expensive that is!

I import them from Germany. Very solid bit of kit.

I can PM you a price later when I'm back in the office if you like?

Was using this set up recently, grab was a bit heavy for the 5 tonner but a nice machine to use.
