## Narrative

Spring in the hoist joystick controller that would return the joystick to neutral (deadman) failed due to fatigue.  At the initial time of failure, the gearing in the joystick was caused to slip, only allowing hoist travel in one direction.  The spring was replaced and the joystick and hoist returned to operating condition.
