Using the auxiliary hydraulics
Auxiliary hydraulics (hydraulically operated attachments) are controlled with the lever on the control panel, or with
the buttons on the 6 function joystick (
see page 32).
The locking position of the lever facilitates operation of the attachments that require constant oil flow (rotary broom,
backhoe etc.). Make sure to release the lever when not operating an attachment to avoid loading the engine
unnecessarily.
DANGER
Going near an attachment that is in operation can cause a serious risk of injury. Switch
off auxiliary hydraulics before leaving driver’s seat or stopping the engine. Operate the
controls only when sitting in the driver’s seat.
The 2-way auxiliary hydraulics control lever ( see page 32) directs hydraulic as follows:
1.
Moving towards the locking position will direct hydraulic flow to port
2. This is normally the normal or positive movement of the
attachment.
2.
Moving the lever away from the locking position will direct flow in
reverse direction, pressure in port 1.
3.
The third port is a free return line to tank, this is required by some
attachments.
4.
The 4
th
port is for the integrated electric socket of the optional
Attachment control switch pack.
WARNING
Overspeed of the attachment can cause injuries or dangerous movements of the
attachment. The attachment can break down in a dangerous way, throw objects, or
produce excessive noise and vibrations if operated at too high speed. Never exceed
maximum allowed hydraulic flow of the attachment. Check correct operating flow from the
operator's manuals of the attachment.
