PRINTED IN U.S.A. 27 913323/CP0112
This machine is equipped with one of two types of
boom and attachment joystick control configurations,
either a two-joystick configuration, or a single tri-func-
tion joystick.
Two-Joystick Configuration
Frame Level/Attachment Tilt Joystick: The machine
may be tilted slowly as much as 10° to the left or right
to level the frame and boom in relation to the ground.
Move the joystick handle to the left to tilt to the left;
move the joystick handle to the right to tilt to the right.
To tilt the attachment tool up, move the joystick handle
rearward. To tilt the attachment tool down, move the
joystick handle forward.
After the operator tilts the attachment tool to a desired
angle, that angle will be maintained as the boom is
raised and lowered, extended and retracted, until a new
angle is set.
Boom Control Joystick: This machine has a
hydraulic-type boom with telescopic sections. The sec-
tions extend by means of a hydraulic cylinder and
chain system inside the boom, sequenced for uniform
extension of each section.
To extend the boom, move the joystick handle to the
right; to retract the boom, move the joystick handle to
the left. To raise the boom, move the joystick handle
rearward; to lower the boom, move the joystick handle
forward.
Auxiliary Hydraulics Control: This two-position
lever is for attachment tools that require additional
hydraulics.
Tri-Function Joystick Configuration
Tri-Function Joystick: This joystick handle is
equipped with two yellow buttons and two blue but-
tons on the upper rear of the handle, and a trigger
switch on the front of the handle. The yellow buttons
operate the attachment tilt. The blue buttons operate
the auxiliary hydraulics. The trigger switch increases
the function speed of both the attachment tilt and aux-
iliary hydraulics.
To extend the boom, move the joystick to the right; to
retract the boom, move the joystick to the left. To raise
the boom, move the joystick rearward; to lower the
boom, move the joystick forward.
To tilt the attachment tool up, depress and hold the
lower yellow button on the left side of the joystick han-
dle; to tilt the attachment tool down, depress and hold
the upper yellow button on the left side of the joystick
handle.
To operate the auxiliary attachment hydraulics, depress
and hold either the upper or lower blue button on the
right side of the joystick handle. The upper blue button
will cause the reverse effect of the lower blue button.
Depressing and holding the trigger on the front side of
the joystick handle will increase the speed of the
attachment tilt and auxiliary hydraulic functions.
NOTE: The joystick handle does not need to be
moved to operate the tilt or auxiliary hydraulic
functions.
