Joystick Switches and Remote Switch on Cat NGH mini/micro machines

Depending on your installation, the Autos switch can be configured via:

  • The factory standard joystick

  • Certain third party joysticks

    NOTE – Ask your technician which switch has been configured for Autos.

Factory Standard Joystick Switch

The integrated Grade Auto switch on your left joystick allows you to engage Depth and/or Tilt Autos.

Remote Switch
