In 1-AXIS operation, once the joystick is moved in the direction of the desired function, the other functions
are locked out until the joystick returns to the center position. For example, if you are booming up, you
cannot rotate at the same time. But one function of the other joystick will be available to use.
In 2-AXIS operation, each joystick can perform two functions simultaneously.
1-AXIS, TRIGGER PROP (1PT) – Allows only one function to operate on each joystick. The joysticks are on-
off and only need to be moved in the direction of the desired function. The speed control is located in the
trigger. The more the trigger is pulled, the faster the function will operate.
2-AXIS, TRIGGER PROP (2PT) – Allows two functions to operator on each joystick. The joysticks are on-
