Setting cruise control
The joystick is designed so that it returns to the neutral position by itself when it is released;
this then brings the machine to a halt.
If a set speed must be retained during movement, the Joystick must therefore be constantly
held in a particular position. This means that the arm and wrist must be held in the same
position for long periods when working. This can lead to cramps or weariness. To avoid this,
a cruise control has been provided on the machine.
This function ensures that the Joystick movement becomes stiffer when going forwards or
backwards and does not return to the neutral position of its own accord. As a result, the
Joystick retains its position and allows the machine to continue at a fixed speed without be-
ing actively operated.
How to set it up:
• Loosen the 2 bolts on the brake blocks and slide these against the blade.
• Ensure that both brake blocks press against the blade with equal pressure and then re-
tighten.
• Check to make sure that the joystick is in a vertical position when releasing the joystick. If
this is not the case, the machine will deviate from its line when working.
