Code D designates centering spring force options.
The center spring returns the joystick to its center position when released by the operator and provides
the physical resistance to movement when the joystick is operated. Two levels of spring force are
available: heavy and medium. Spring force is selected by choosing a letter from the order character
column of the following table.
W
Warning
Potential uncommanded machine movement. The spring choice affects the joystick’s ability to resist
system vibrations. Each of the following springs give a different product harmonic range. This, in
combination with critical mass differences as a result of grip choice, results in each system (joystick and
machine) having different vibration characteristics. With this in mind, please consider the vibration range
of the system and determine whether any resonance exists in the joystick. Resonance causes dither and
could cause the joystick to leave neutral.
