Drive/Lift/Steer Joystick Control
Trigger (Enable) Switch
- This trigger switch is located on the front
of the joystick controller. It acts as an enable and must be depressed
before operating the drive, steer, and lift functions. When released,
the function in operation will stop.
The speed on all functions is proportionally controlled by the dis-
tance from the neutral (center) position of the joystick controller.
NOTE:
Once the trigger switch is pressed, the operator has five seconds
to engage a function. After five seconds, the trigger switch must
be released and pressed again to operate.
NOTE:
If the machine is also equipped with a footswitch, depress the
footswitch in conjunction with the trigger (enable) switch
located on the joystick controller. Power is removed from the
platform controls when the footswitch is released.
Steer Switch

at the top of the joystick controller 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.
