Somewhere in the system, there is obviously a current leak - I presume it is probably the hand controller, as touching other parts elicited no tingling (the current is SO low - thankfully LOW amperage - as to only tickle like one of those trick handshake thingies).
I am no electrician, so when I disassemble the hand controller, what should I be looking for - a frayed wire, a wire touching the metal casing, or? Only feel it at certain points like the face securing screws and hook.
I am sure it will be a simple fix, but I sure don't want to be out hot and sweaty or cold and dewed up touching that thing  
Other than that, WHAT A MOUNT! Sure does sound like a gas turbine spooling up when it ramps up to slew  Quieter than the EM400 too, without that odd "reversal" sound. |
