Joy Stick Cap Removal

[davis1676]

How does this Controller Handle come off this thing. I dont want to tear up the handle. The old one just screws off but this one has the pull up spring loaded handle on top and I am not familar with it.

The very top knob should unscrew CCW. Once it's removed, there's a snap ring on the stem that holds the spring and bottom portion of knob to stem.

I am drawing a very annoying blank right now....... i think i did one of these last year and the top cap wouldnt un screw and i had to stick something in that hole in the top side, this locked the inner sleeve (i think)...... or something like that! I just remember this being a problem

Come on barklee, you're not helping, really dig in that head of yours and remember the trick. :yup

Willie, this head has exceeded max capacity!!! Smoke is rolling trying to think back......

Ha, we don't care, just dig the info out of there and dish it out to us.

 

[barklee]

Nothing left to dish....... But i do remember having to stuff a small allen wrench in there to keep something locked. Maybe it was my imagination thinking i had to do that.....

i stuck a small screwdriver in the cap hole and unscrew cap while it still has the screwdriver in the hole.

What is that joystick from if you don't mind my asking?

 

[clintm]

look's like a JLG boom lift

 

[D11RCD]

Ah. Thankyou- I will remember that one

 

[davis1676]

It was a JLG 450A manlift. This type toggle may be used on other models not sure.

Thank you!
The only reason I ask is I am compiling a list of odd things to undo like this... haha might come in handy one day...
