How to Calibrate Joystick

How to calibrate and/or the best way to relearn the operators control handle, on a Caterpillar NRDR30 Reach Truck. Also, access code/pass to get into micro command? It seem the joystick is not going into its neutral position...when released. Unit beeps at you, when you get off the deadmans pedal. Always have to restart/ cycle power to unit, to operate.

ok
for starters the beeping is the system seeing the handle out of neutral position. If the handle has alot of play in it this will occur and the detent springs need to be replaced. Also if it is having a tendency to move without moving the handle when you press the deadman pedal the potentiometer may have a bad spot in it near the neutral position causing the voltage to fluctuate.
The beeping is caused by the handle moving away from neutral though.

Now you can go into the micro command menu using the default access of cat2 and find the option to do a Learn on the controls. (If the password has been changed and cat2 does not work then you will not get into the system without going through alot of trouble using dcat and a laptop).

If you gain access though and Once you re-learn the controls that beeping should stop. If it does not then you may be looking at a reman handle. Rebuilding them is not cost effective compared to just replacing it. Now this is important, do not change any other settings, just find the learn procedure and do that ONLY.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
