10.8.13 Joystick
The multi-function joystick (Fig. 10– 74) controls boom
movement, attachment tilt, vehicle frame tilt, and optional
auxiliary hydraulics.
Figure 10– 74. Joystick and logic panel locations.
The joystick is equipped with several momentary
switches (“buttons”) that enable the joystick to operate in
four specific modes. The mode available per selection is
displayed on a logic panel located just forward of the joy-
stick. The logic panel will illuminate an indicator for the
specific mode that corresponds with the movement of the
joystick and the button(s) selected.
Two functions can be accomplished at the same time by
moving the joystick in between quadrants. For example,
moving the stick forward will lower the boom, and moving
the stick to the left will retract the boom; moving the joy-
stick forward and to the left will both lower and retract the
boom at the same time.
The speed of movement relates to the amount of joystick
movement away from the center position. The overall
speed of movement also depends directly on engine rpm.
IMPORTANT: When the joystick is in an off-center posi-
tion, the mode will change immediately upon releasing
any button.
Joystick mode operation can be checked according to the
joystick operation instructions found in the Owners/Oper-
ators Manual for this vehicle. Operational checks will indi-
cate whether the system is working properly. If a
designated function does not occur as described, check
both the electrical and hydraulic circuit involved to deter-
mine the cause.
