February 11, 2025

The joystick may not respond and the arm function may be disabled due to the following reasons:

1. The Operator Presence switch is not depressed.
2. The side door is open – it must be closed.
3. The clean out door is open – it must be closed.
4. The truck speed exceeds 15 mph – reduce speed below 15 mph.
5. A system problem – requires shop service and repair.

These conditions must be checked and corrected to restore joystick and arm function.
