Handle considerations
Recommended handle specification
In addition to the MP handle, the IQAN-LC5-X05 will accept OEM specified handles.
These handles will need to be adapted to mount on the joystick stem. The maximum
weight of any handle fitted to the IQAN-LC5-X05 combined with its center of gravity
(COG), shall not cause more force than the minimum activation moment. For the
minimum activation force, see Appendix A, on page 29. Any tilting of the lever by
armrest movement or possible machine leveling or orientation should be taken into
consideration when specifying a suitable handle.
W
ARNING
Risk of injury! Exceeding the recommended handle specifications could cause
unintended movement of the joystick.
Environmental specification
Any handle used with the IQAN-LC5-X05 should be a sealed type that is rated IP65 for
outdoor use. Additionally, the joystick must always have a bellow installed to ensure
that it will meet the environmental specification for sealing above the flange. When
using a handle from a different manufacturer than Parker, be sure to include a suitable
bellow made of a material that is able to withstand the stresses of outdoor use in mobile
hydraulic machinery.
N
OTICE
Failure to use a properly fitted bellow of the correct material will cause the unit to not
meet its environmental specification and may result in damage to the IQAN-LC5-X05
joystick.
