All movements (steering excluded) are controlled by proportional joystick control; it is therefore possible to adjust movement speed

means of the relative controls (except lowering which occurs by gravity).
To avoid sudden shakes during movements, it is advisable to operate the proportional joystick controls gradually.
For safety reasons, to operate the machine, press dead-man switch
D
on the front part of the proportional joystick before activating
the joystick. If the dead-man switch is accidentally released while the machine is operating, the movement is immediately stopped.
To resume the operation, release the joystick and follow the steps described above.
