JOYSTICK (5 FUNCTION) WITH SELECTION OF THE DRIVE DIRECTION
Your machine is equipped with a single-lever joystick (1) that allows you to
control the 5 main movements of the telescopic boom and to select the drive
direction (forward/reverse) of the machine.
The controls provided on the joystick are:
• RAISING / LOWERING OF THE TELESCOPIC BOOM
(move the joystick forwards or backwards)
• UPWARD / DOWNWARD ROTATION OF THE FORKS
(move the joystick to the left or right)
• EXTENSION / RETRACTION OF THE TELESCOPIC BOOM
(use thumb wheel R1)
• OPERATION OF ATTACHMENTS FITTED ON THE CARRIAGE (AUX)
(use thumb wheel R2)
• OPERATION OF ATTACHMENTS FITTED ON THE CARRIAGE (AUX 1)
(use thumb wheel R3)
• SELECTION OF FOWARD / REVERSE DRIVE
(use buttons F, R, N)
- TELESCOPIC BOOM CONTROLS
The speed at which the movement is performed is proportional to:
- the tilt angle of the joystick (the further the joystick is moved, the faster the
movement)
- the rotation of thumb wheels "R1", "R2", "R3" (the further the wheel is rotated,
the faster the movement)
- the rotation speed of the diesel engine (the higher the engine rpm, the faster
the movement).
The movement stops automatically when the joystick or the respective thumb
wheel is released. The possibility of combining the movements depends on the
load conditions.
