VR2 - Replacement of Joystick

  1. Disassemble the VR2 JSM, as described in [ Disassembly of the VR2 JSM ]
     
  2. Remove the Joystick as described in [ Replacement of Joystick Gaiter ]
     
  3. Fit the replacement Joystick, ensuring the notch on the Joystick is correctly positioned.
     
  4. Calibrate the Joystick with the following steps.
    1. With the Joystick Cable disconnected, switch on the VR2. This will enter a Calibration Mode, which will be indicated by the left-hand speed LED flashing as below.

       
    2. Connect the Joystick Cable and carefully hold the two halves of the JSM together as if re-assembling.
       
    3. Depress the Horn Button until there is a bleep, then release. The left-hand two speed LEDs will now flash as below.

       
    4. Deflect and hold the Joystick in the full-forwards position and then depress the Horn Button until there is a bleep, then release. The left-hand three speed LEDs will now flash as below.

       
    5. Deflect and hold the Joystick in the full-left position and then depress the Horn Button until there is a bleep, then release. The left-hand four speed LEDs will now flash as below.
