Removing factory connections from a 120/240v 1000w switchable ballast?(FIRE HAZZARD)

Hello guys.

I was a member on this site two years ago and now im back to ask a few questions.

I have had more than a few ballasts that when opened up looked like a fire hazard dissaster zone. Burnt connections as well as melted connections are the obvious signs of resistance as well as voltage line loss.

For this reason I would like to remove the MH/HPS switch as i will never run MH with these ballasts. I would also like to remove the 120/240 plugin and hardwire for 240 volts.

Can anyone show me a wiring diagram and kinda help me with hard wiring this bad boy?

If you dont know how maybe you could point me to a thread that has some good info... Keep in mind that I have already been through all the "Electrical" threads, and they are a giant headache. It is impossible to comprehend any attempt at a conversation on a topic as serious as wiring higher voltage.

If you do have advice great. If you are not 100% sure and qualified to give me advice please refrain from posting.

I would like to thank everyone in advance who may have a bit of knowlege on the subject of ballasts.




(DETAILS)
I have a 1000 watt 120/240 switchable H.P.S./M.H ballast.

There is inputs for 120 as well as 240. There is also the HPS/MH switch and There is a lamp cord connection.
