ASV VT-70, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 45 / 98

4.8 Bucket Positioning (optional)
VT-70 High Output machines can be equipped with feature commonly referred to
as “bucket positioning”. The bucket positioning system does not automatically
level your attachment. Instead, it will maintain the current angle of the quick
attach (relative to level) throughout the upward cycle of the lift arms.
The bucket positioning feature can be turned on or off with the switch located on
the dash panel (item 4, section 4.1).
Note: The bucket positioning function can be overridden by operating the curl or
dump functions of the appropriate joystick.
4.9 Electric Attachment Control (optional)
Attachments for the VT-70 High Output can be controlled by pressing various but-
tons on the joysticks or switches in the cab. Most attachments are controlled
hydraulically, but some require both hydraulic and electrical inputs. The upper 4
buttons on the left joystick (4.9-1) can send up to 20 amps (combined) of electri-
cal current to pins B, C, D, G of the receptacle on the lift arms (4.9-1).
Attachments requiring electrical inputs must have a matching receptacle.
Note: The electrical receptacle is not compatible with all attachment brands. Use
only compatible attachments for proper function (see section 4.13).
4.10 Ride Control (optional)
VT-70 High Output machines can be equipped with a feature known as ride con-
trol. This feature, when activated, acts as a shock absorber within the hydraulic
system when a load is being carried. As a result, the machine is able to carry the
load in a more controlled manner over rough terrain which improves ride and
operator comfort.
The ride control feature can be turned on or off with the switch located on the
dash panel (item 5, section 4.1 ).
• The ride control switch must be deactivated in order to start the engine.
