To increase the speed of the HETRONIC Nova-M-K, use the joystick or paddle lever. Both provide stepless proportional speed control, meaning the farther you move the joystick or paddle from its neutral position, the greater the speed. Some optional joysticks also offer five-stop speed control with detents.
