The right hand armrest contains all the essential controls for the machine. The most obvious being the
transmission control joystick.
This joystick is locked in neutral until unlocked by moving the joystick to the left against the detent. The
joystick is connected by cable to the pump ‘swash plate’ control system. Pushing the joystick forward will
drive the machine forward. The further forward the joystick is pushed, the faster the machine will travel.
If the joystick is returned to neutral then the machine will stop. The quicker the joystick is moved, the quicker
the response, whether it be acceleration or braking. Care must be taken not to induce skidding by moving the
lever to rapidly.
Moving the joystick further to the left against the detent enables the joystick to move backwards.
Moving the joystick backwards drives the machine backwards and the same rules apply.
The engine can only be started with the joystick in neutral.
Positioned around the face of the joystick is an arc of buttons. Each button controls a spray line. The top
centre button represents the centre (back frame) spray line. Seven section spray lines are a standard build on
SAM machines although four, five and six sections can be accommodated.
The centre joystick button is the master ON/OFF control. When the machine is being calibrated in the yard,
this control must be ‘on’ to generate spray pressure but the spray lines may be turned ‘off’ to prevent loss of
chemical.
On the rear of the joystick are two further buttons. These are used to raise and lower the boom.
