Can anyone recommend an excavator forum?
I need to search for a manual (in english) for my new-to-me Hanix N150-2, and I have to think someone out there has one, or knows where to get one. I would like both an operator manual and a service manual, but I'll take what I can get.
Thanks in advance.

You probably will not find those manuals!
I think you should just sell me that sweet looking little Hanix for the same price that you paid.
It has steel tracks, so it is obviously no good!;)

Interesting. Another post on a Hanix thread within minutes of a suspected robot by a person who has managed 8 other posts in 3 years. I see you have changed your location again. And now you are plugging a different website. Did you change employers or did they have to change their address?

I have that exact manual, downloaded from that website.
(or one of his 8 or 9 other sites selling the same thing)

The cover is in english, but the rest of the manual is in Norwegian.
I was never able to find an english version anywhere.

hmm, I didn't really look at it...
you can ask Google to translate it for you ! I do a 'cut and paste' thing once in awhile....as there's a LOT of prgrammers in the world and english isn't their 1st language....

Been doing a lot of that, but it will not translate the whole thing, or any technical diagrams, just words or phrases.
So when I think I have found the right section for what I need to know, I grab some phrases or words, copy & paste, and extrapolate from there.

Try going on a forum or Reddit group for Norwegian folks and see if someone will help translate sections for you.

Another option is to reach out to Hanix Europe to see if they can refer you to a dealer that can sell you a paper manual in English (if one exists).

Been there done that. No luck. They offered the Norwegian version also.
I am convinced someone, somewhere must have an english version, but they are unaware how rare & valuable an item they have.

Yes, both are the Norwegian version; all those sites are owned by the same company.
I bought from 3 sites, but got my money back by using PayPal.

I have some skill translating Danish shop manuals into Engrish.

The word skrüe is used repeatedly.

Here is an example page from the Norwegian manual. Some words are pretty easy to figure out, some not so much. But at least it is a clean, legible copy.
