Two Joystick Configuation
Frame Level/Attachment Tilt Joystick: The machine
may be tilted slowly 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.
Once 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 sections
extend by means of a hydraulic cylinder and chain sys-
tem 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.
Outrigger Controls: The outriggers are an option
used to provide greater stability in specific applica-
tions. The left lever controls the left outrigger. The
right lever controls the right outrigger. Move the levers
forward to lower the outriggers. Move the levers rear-
ward to raise the outriggers.
Auxiliary Hydraulics Control: This 2-position lever
is for attachment tools that require additional
hydraulics.
Tri-Function Joystick Configuation
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.

WARNING
Be sure NO persons or equipment are where
the outrigger pads will be positioned.
DO NOT travel with the outriggers extended
under any circumstances.
Adequate clearance is required for the outrig-
gers in the retracted position when traveling
through doorways or narrow pathways.
DO NOT attempt to use outriggers as a
hydraulic jack for maintenance or frame level-
ing or other similar uses.
Failure to heed could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
WARNING
DO NOT level the frame with the boom raised
or extended. Only level the frame while
stopped and with the boom fully retracted and
the attachment raised just enough to clear the
ground.
