™ is equipped with two dual handle joysticks for your convenience: one on
the console inside the cab, the other on the front left-hand side tire guard. Both joysticks are identical
except that the forks and arms operating functions are reversed.
In-Cab Dual Handle Joystick
This pneumatic joystick (see Figure 3-26) controls both the arms and forks. The left handle is for the
forks whereas the right handle is for the arms. As the accompanying sticker indicates, pushing the
corresponding handle away from you toward the front will lower the arms or forks, whereas pulling
the corresponding handle toward you will raise the arms and forks.
Each handle operates independently. So, it is possible to activate both controls simultaneously.

Joystick functions are reversed depending on which joystick is used. Please take note of the
accompanying label plate/sticker to avoid any confusion.
Outside Dual Handle Joystick
This pneumatic joystick (see Figure 3-27) uses two handles to control the arms and forks: the right
handle controls the forks whereas the left handle controls the arms. While these are separate controls,
you may still perform two functions at the same time. For example, you can lower the arms and forks
simultaneously.
