When a machine is equipped with auxiliary equipment, the pedal that operates the auxiliary equipment will also be the pedal that operates the VA boom. Since the auxiliary equipment and the VA boom are operated by the same pedal, a switch that is located on the left side console must be switched to the function that is desired.

The VA boom can also be operated by using the top left button (1) on the right joystick. Boom movement is not proportional when the boom is operated with the joystick. Pressing the left button will open the VA boom.
Pressing the button corresponds to a full pedal stroke. The VA boom will stop moving when the button is released. This method of controlling the VA boom can be useful in loading trucks.
Note: The VA boom cannot be closed by using the button on the joystick.
