REMOTE HYDRAULICS OPERATION
There can be up to three remote control levers, each hav-
ing three or four positions (according to the type of valve):
POSITION
FLOATING RETRACT NEUTRAL EXTEND
The speed of movement of auxiliary equipment is deter-
mined by the distance the lever is moved from neutral to
the control position.
If the lever is moved fully rearward from neutral, the
equipment hydraulic cylinder will extend quickly. If the
lever is moved rearward a short distance from neutral, the
equipment hydraulic cylinder will extend slowly.
If the lever is moved fully forward from neutral (when work
position is locked out) the equipment hydraulic cylinder
will retract quickly. If the lever is moved a short distance
forward from neutral the equipment hydraulic cylinder
will retract slowly.
NOTE:If there is too much restriction in the implement
cylinders or other attachments, the restriction can cause
a back pressure in the remote valve which will cause the
remote lever on the console to return to neutral before the
cylinder has reached full stroke. If the condition occurs,
it will be necessary to manually hold the lever in position
until the cylinder has reached full stroke. Continual use of
the remote valve in this condition will cause the hydrau-
lic oil to over heat and possible damage to the hydraulic
system. If this condition occurs at regular intervals the
implement restriction should be corrected. It is normal for
the control lever to return to neutral when the cylinders
reach full stroke.
Neutral Lock
The remote hydraulic control levers can be locked in the
neutral position (1) to prevent moving the remote valves.
This can be done by moving the valve control levers to
the neutral position and turning the lock control fully
clockwise.
When used with equipment in the raised position, the
neutral lock provides a positive means of preventing the
accidental movement of the valve control levers.
