Joystick operation of the 3

brush (optional)
(fig. 2, no. 12)
This joystick operates the third brush. The third brush has two swivel points, each with a
separate swivel motor. The position of the joystick determines the rotation of the swivel
motors in the horizontal plane. Which of the two swivel motors is operated, depends on the
direction in which the joystick is moved:
•
to the left: turns the first brush arm anti-clockwise.
•
to the right: turns the first brush arm clockwise.
•
to the front turns the second brush arm anti-clockwise.
•
to the back: turns the second brush arm clockwise.
•
diagonally: both swivels will turn simultaneously,
making the third extremely flexible.
The joystick also has three function switches:
Rotate 3
rd
brush
Angle adjustment of 3
rd
brush
Lower/raise 3
rd
brush
Good control of the third brush can only be realized through thorough training.
Inexpert operation could cause damage to the vehicle and/or the third brush
system and give rise to hazardous situations.
