Trigger (Enable) Switch - This switch is located on the front of
the joystick controller. The trigger switch acts as an enable and
must be depressed before operating the drive, steer and lift
functions. When released, the function being operated will stop.
NOTE: Once the trigger switch is pressed, the operator has (5)
seconds to begin operating a function, after 5 seconds you
must release the trigger switch and press it again to oper-
ate a joystick function.
The speed on all selected functions is proportionally con-
trolled by the distance from the neutral (center) position
of the joystick controller.
NOTE: If the machine is also equipped with a foot-switch (Japa-
nese Specification Only), the foot-switch must be
depressed in conjunction with the trigger (enable) switch,
located on the controller. Power is removed from the plat-
form controls when the footswitch is released.

located at the top of the control handle. Depressing the switch
to the right will steer the wheels to the right. Depressing the
switch to the left will steer the wheels to the left.
Joystick Controller - The control handle controls two functions:
drive and lift.
