Abstract
A work machine () comprises an operator input device (), an electro-hydraulic system (), and a controller unit () that communicates with the operator input device () and the electro-hydraulic system (). The controller unit () is programmed to operate the electro-hydraulic system () in a manual-control mode and an auto-control mode, and is adapted to activate the auto-control mode in response to displacement of the operator input device () to an activate-auto position relative to a neutral position () of the operator input device (), and both deactivate the auto-control mode and activate the manual-control mode in response to displacement of the operator input device () from the neutral position through a non-responsive deadband () about the neutral position () to an activate-manual position. An associated method is disclosed.
