Ramp Down determines the time it will take for the machine function to decelerate from full on to
off when the joystick handle is moved abruptly. Ramp down time is used to prevent sudden jerky
movements of the machine and allow smooth stopping.
CAUTION - Setting the Ramp Down time too high will increase the time it takes for the machine
function to stop.
If the machine has two speeds (Dual Range), make sure the High range is selected. (If this is not
possible, then temporarily adjust the Low Range to 100%.
Press the Ramp Down key. The Ramp Down value is displayed and will flash.
Move the joystick handle fully on in the direction to be adjusted. Allow the machine to reach full
speed. Then quickly move the joystick handle to its off position. Observe the machine’s
response.
If the machine slows down too quickly and/or is jerky, press the Plus key to increase the ramp
down time.
OR If the machine takes too long to stop, press the Minus key to decrease the ramp down time.
Press the RUN key to save the new value.
Repeat these steps for adjusting the Ramp Down time in the opposite direction.
After all adjustments have been made for the desired machine performance, it would be helpful to record all
of these settings for future reference. The following table can be used to record the settings.
