■ Hydraulic Flow Control / Stop Knob
●Lowering the 3-point hitch too fast can lead to 
accident or failure.
●Adjust the hydraulic flow control / stop knob so that 
the time for lowering the implement from the highest 
position to the lowest position becomes 2 seconds 
or longer.
●While on a road, do not attempt to operate an 
implement. During transportation, put the 3-point 
hitch control lever in its raised position and lock it 
with the position stop knob.
Do not fully close the hydraulic flow control / stop 
knob to hold an implement in the raised position 
while the tractor is traveling with the implements. 
Doing so could cause damage to the hydraulic lift 
circuit.
The lowering speed of the lower link is governed by the 
position of the hydraulic flow control / stop knob. This knob 
directly controls the lowering speed of the lower link.
Also, this knob is used to stop the lower link at an intended 
position.
IMPORTANT: 
●When a heavy load is installed to the 3-point hitch and 
the tractor runs on rough terrain, the hydraulic system 
may be damaged.
(a) Turning the knob clockwise will cause the lowering- 
speed to decrease.
Tighten the knob by fully turning clockwise to stop the 
lower link.
(b) Turning the knob counterclockwise will cause the 
lowering-speed to increase.
Be careful to avoid injury:
●NEVER use the hydraulic flow control / stop knob 
for holding an implement in the raised position for 
maintenance. Loss of hydraulic pressure may cause 
the implement to drop suddenly. Lower the 
implement onto solid blocks or remove before 
starting any maintenance.
