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 function 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 operate a joystick func-
tion.
The speed on all selected functions is proportionally controlled
by the distance from the neutral (center) position of the joystick
controller.
NOTE: If the machine is equipped with a footswitch (Japanese Specifi-
cation 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.

located at the top of the control handle. Depressing the
switch to the right will steer the wheels to the right. Depress-
ing the switch to the left will steer the wheels to the left.

tions: drive, lift, and steer.
