Genie Joystick Controller – Dual Axis intermittent

gatorsby7 · 2020-04-06 14:36

I have a Genie Z45/22 that is experiencing an intermittent problem with the Joystick Controller - Boom Functions, Dual Axis. The intermittent problem is only with the Primary Boom Up or Down. It does not affect the Turntable Rotate functions. How do I troubleshoot this?

    Recalibrate joystick...and see if problem goes away... GCON key switch to platform In platform pull e-stop out DO NOT PUT FOOT ON FOOTSWITCH *To joystick being calibrated** Joystick forward 6-7 seconds Back to center for 2 seconds Joystick backwards for 6-7 seconds Back to center for 2 seconds Joystick to the left for 6-7 sec Back to center for 2 sec Joystick to the right for 6-7 sec Back to center for 2 seconds Cycle e-stop * not needing to do exact combo just every function of joystick needs that 6-7 sec...add the same toggle sequence for a rocker* If they come back...check condition of battery as a bad battery with low cranking voltage will throw calibrations...if they don’t come back and you have inspected correlating wiring to them as good...more than likely moisture is in them...
