SECTION 2 - OPERATION
2-133
Use the flow control to regulate the motor speed.
This will ensure that the hydraulic system will
supply only the oil required by the motor. This
will allow higher oil flow reserve for other valve
sections and their oil circuits.
NOTE: Hydraulic motors that are equipped
with (1/2
″
) supply and return hoses, and
require less than 10 GPM, can be hooked up
directly to the gray couplers. Hydraulic
motors that have (3/4
″
) supply and return
hoses, and require greater than 37.85 L/min
(10 GPM), should be hooked up to the
optional (3/4
″
) coupler kit. See “Optional
Hydraulic Equipment” later in this section
for more information on this kit.
With the remote control valve lever fully forward
in the float position, the motor will be stationary.
The hydraulic motor will operate if the lever is
pulled back one detent to the retract position. To
stop the motor, move the lever from the retract
position to the float position. In the float position,
the motor will be able to stop slowly, which will
not damage the motor. When moving from the
float position to the neutral position, i.e., for road
travelling, move through the retract position
quickly to prevent pressurizing the circuit.
IMPORTANT: When operating continuous flow
equipment, the remote control valve lever must
not be moved from the full on position to the
neutral or raise positions as damage to the
equipment may result. Use the lockout levers
on the control levers to prevent the levers from
moving to these positions.
Observe the following to further protect the
tractor and equipment:
D
Do not open any bypass valve in the
equipment or motor. Use the flow control
valve to control the rate of flow or speed of
the motor.
D
Do not hold the remote control valve lever
to operate the equipment. If the detent will
not hold the lever in the retract position,
check the equipment for proper
adjustment or contact your dealer for
assistance in adapting the equipment to
suit the tractor.
D
To ensure optimum hydraulic oil cooling,
operate continuous flow equipment at the
highest flow setting (by use of the flow
control valve) and lowest engine speed
that will give the required machine
performance and speed.
