is used to remove fluid from the hydrostatic
system for cooling and contamination
removal.
Traction Valves
Your machine is equipped with hydraulic
valves for increased traction (one located in
the front hydraulic loop, and one in the rear
hydraulic loop). These valves reduce spin-
out if muddy conditions prevail, or if wheels
lose traction for any reason.
The Traction Valve in the rear loop is
active at all times. The Traction Valve in the
front loop is activated by the Traction Valve
Switch (located near the front of the
operator’s station) and should only be used
when needed.
To Activate the Front Traction Valve
• Press the Traction Valve Switch IN to
turn traction control on. Press switch
again to turn off.
NOTE: When the Traction Valve Switch is
on, a Traction Valve Indicator
(located on the side console) will
illuminate.
NOTICE
To prevent hydraulic loop damage, do
not operate the front traction valve
continuously, or while traveling over
4 mph (6.4 km/h). Activate the front
traction valve only when needed. Shut
the Traction Valve Switch OFF when
clear of the problem area.
