When the joystick lockout rocker switch is in the on position, what occurs?

When the joystick lockout rocker switch is in the on position, it engages the system that allows 12 volts to be sent to the joystick lockout solenoid. This means the solenoid is activated, which subsequently permits control signals from the joystick. This action ensures that the operator has the ability to control the crane functions safely and effectively when appropriate conditions are met, such as being in a safe operational area or having personnel cleared from the danger zone.

Sending 12 volts to the solenoid is crucial because it enables the electronic control system to recognize that the joystick is active and can be used without being overridden or disabled. This is an important safety feature, as it prevents unintended movements of the crane due to operator error or system malfunctions.

In contrast, blocking hydraulic fluid flow, disabling joysticks, or releasing hydraulic pressure would not be the function of the joystick lockout rocker switch when it is in the on position.
