SECTION 2 – OPERATION

DROP RATE VALVE
The drop rate valve provides an adjustment to
regulate the flow of oil from the lift cylinder. This
allows the operator to decrease or increase the
rate of drop of the lower links. On this tractor
model, the drop rate control knob ① is located
directly below the front of the seat.
Turn the flow control valve "IN" (clockwise) to
decrease the rate of drop. Turn the valve "OUT"
(counterclockwise) to increase the rate of drop.
The flow control valve must be opened before
the hydraulic lift control will lower. If the valve is
turned all the way "IN" (clockwise), the lower
links can be raised to maximum height, but
cannot be lowered.
REAR REMOTE CONTROL VALVE
(OPTIONAL)
Your SHIBAURA tractor can be equipped with
one auxiliary valve. If so equipped, the control
lever is located on the RH control pod ①
inboard of the hitch control lever.
To operate the single-spool valve, pull the control
lever rearward to extend the cylinder. Push the
control lever forward to retract the cylinder.
Release the control lever to stop the cylinder in
any position before it is fully extended. The lever
automatically returns to neutral.
The auxiliary valve can be fitted with either rear
3/8" quick couplers ①.
