CAUTION
The deadman joystick function prevents any accidental movements of the boom.
The Joystick features a "deadman" capacitive sensor: to enable it to function you need to place your hand
on the grip "1" correctly so as to activate the capacitive sensor "2".
If your hand is not resting on the capacitive sensor "2", boom movements are disabled.
WARNING
Before operating the boom, make sure that the area around the vehicle is clear.
Make sure that the loads to be lifted are within the vehicle capacity.
Adjust the seat so you can hold the joystick correctly (fig.
1504502).
