HANDLING JOYSTICK STEERING SYSTEM
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF JOYSTICK STEERING
The joystick steering system is a system used to steer wheel
loaders with a lever instead of a steering wheel.
The joystick enables steering with small, light movements, and
helps to reduce operator fatigue.
When joystick ON/OFF switch (1) is turned ON, it becomes
possible to operate the steering with the joystick.
If the joystick steering system is installed, the steering and
transmission control methods can be selected with joystick
ON/OFF switch (1) as shown below.
The functional difference between steering with the joystick
steering system and that with the steering wheel is as follows:
