Joystick Function Swap & Travel Swap Settings  

Allows users to customise the joystick functions and/or machine forward travel direction for 
personal preference or to perform a specific task. 

 

Changes to these settings are only retained in the systems memory for the duration of the operating 
period - if the machine is switched off, all changes to the joystick and travel direction settings will 

revert to default; this is to ensure that controls operate in a familiar manner for all users at start-up.

swap settings.
