Drive/Lift/Steer Joystick Control
1. Trigger Switch
- This switch is located on the front of
the joystick controller. The trigger switch acts as an
enable and must be depressed before operating the
drive, steer and lift functions. When released, the func-
tion being operated will stop.
NOTE:
Once the trigger switch is pressed, the operator has (5)
seconds to begin operating a function, after 5 seconds you
must release the trigger switch and press it again to oper-
ate a joystick function.
The speed on all selected functions is proportionally con-
trolled by the distance from the neutral (center) position
of the joystick controller.
NOTE:
If the machine is equipped with a footswitch (Japanese
Specification Only), the footswitch must be depressed in
conjunction with the red trigger switch, located on the
controller. Power is removed from the platform controls
when the footswitch is released.
2. Steer Switch
- The steer switch is a thumb operated
switch located at the top of the control handle.
Depressing the switch to the right will steer the
wheels to the right. Depressing the switch to the left
will steer the wheels to the left.
3. Joystick Controller
