4.3.1 Troubleshooting (without TLC)
All 6036 Sky Traks equipped with an electronic
joystick (except Total Load Control, “TLC”,
equipped machines) that exhibit any of the follow-
ing symptoms must be checked for proper calibra-
tion. Refer to SKY TRAK TLC System Mainte-
nance Manual for forklifts equipped with TLC.
1. Boom Speeds do not meet specified times.
• Boom Raise – less than 14 seconds
• Boom Lower – less than 10 seconds
• Boom Extend – less than 15 seconds
• Boom Retract – less than 15 seconds
2. Poor boom “feathering or inching” capabilities.
Appears most often in the Boom Lower mode.
3. Co-ordinated boom functions (operating two
functions at once) slow down when RPM is
increased or their is an extremely narrow band
of co-ordinated boom operation in one mode
only. Appears most often in the Boom Raise/
Extend mode.
Check the calibration of the electronic joystick if a
machine exhibits any of the above symptoms.
The following procedures will guide you through
the proper calibration procedures. Read through
these procedures completely before making any
adjustments.
4.3.2 Visual Inspection
1. Shut OFF the forklift engine. Make certain the
parking brake is engaged.
2. Remove capscrews securing access cover to
side of console.
3. Remove four capscrews securing the cover to
the side console.
4. Carefully lift the cover, with joystick still
attached, up and over the Fork/Frame Tilt
joystick and place in a stable position which
exposes the bottom of the joystick.
5. Check electrical connections at connector
strips on the underside of joystick (Fig. 4.7) for
looseness. Tighten loose connections.
6. If no further checks or repair are necessary,
position joystick and cover in console and
install capscrews (to secure). Install access
cover and secure with capscrews.
