REMOTE HYDRAULICS OPERATION
Therecanbeuptothreeremotecontrollevers,each
havingthreeorfourpositions(accordingtothetypeof
valve):

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(s)willextendquickly.
Iftheleverismovedrearwardashortdistancefrom
neutral,theequipmenthydrauliccylinder(s)willextend
slowly.
Iftheleverismovedfullyforwardfromneutral(when
floatislockedout)theequipmenthydrauliccylinder(s)
willretractquickly.Iftheleverismovedashortdis-
tanceforwardfromneutraltheequipmenthydraulic
cylinder(s)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 the 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le-
vers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.
