For approx. 30 seconds after you step off the deadman pedal you should be able to continue to lift, lower, side shift, tilt and reach, just not travel. This time limit is reset if these controls are used before that 30 seconds. I believe there may be a setting for this in the configure menu. Travel should be the only procedure cut out by not stepping on the dead man. Have the tech visually inspect the short cable going to the control handle. The newer style handles have a seperate cable which can be changed out. Due to the bend in the cable where it connects to the handle it gets cracked and causes signal shorts.
