BOOM JOYSTICK CONTROL - OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

8.OPERATING THE BOOM JOYSTICK CONTROL

Positioning the boom is performed with electronic valves controlled by the operator using a single joystick. The joystick controls five standard operations: Swing, Lift, Dipper, Head, Tilt, and Door. Of these five operations, the Swing, Lift, and Dipper functions are proportional; that is, when the joystick is moved a small amount, the cylinder moves slowly and as the joystick continues to be moved, the cylinder continually becomes faster. This allows very precise positioning of the boom. Using a single joystick, many of the functions can be operated simultaneously such as the Lift and Dipper for even greater speed at positioning of the boom.

For safe and efficient boom mower operation, it is critical that the operator be experienced and feel confident in using the joystick control to position the boom. New operator’s should allowed ample time to practice using the joystick in an open area before entering the worksite. Before attempting to operate this equipment, read these instructions completely. If you have any questions concerning safety of operation, contact your dealer or ALAMO INDUSTRIAL.

Each joystick control and responding boom action is covered in detail on the following pages. Read each explanation carefully then practice in a safe, level area, CLEAR of all people, animals, and any obstructions. As always, use extreme caution when using this machine.

Practice performing multiple functions simultaneously. With some practice, the joystick will become very easy to operate and will feel almost as it were an extension of your arm.

With the exception of the relief valves, which are preset at the factory, these are all the controls for operating the machine other than the controls on the tractor itself.

Master Switch

Operating any joystick function requires that the joystick Master Switch be ON. When ON the master switch indicator light will be illuminated. Turning off the master switch will deactivate all joystick controls. The master switch also serves as a safety device and will prevent the tractor from being started if the master switch is in the ON position. OPS-B- 0030_A
