•
H
YDRAULIC
—the attachment requires hydraulic
power only
•
B
OTH
—the attachment requires both hydraulic
and PTO power. This could be a combination of
2 attachments.
Note:
Selecting both means your attachment or
multiple attachments require continuous hydraulic
flow and PTO engagement. Attachments that use
momentary hydraulic flow to lift and lower
do not
necessarily fall under this category. Selecting
both allows the machine to change engine speed
anytime the hydraulic auxiliary power or PTO
output are engaged.
Engagement Method
This defines the engagement of PTO powered
attachments and if they are engaged by the paddle
or a switch.
•
The P
ADDLE
C
ONTROL
is typically used for 3-point
attachments to automatically control the 3-point
hitch height, the allowed PTO run height, the PTO
start up, the PTO delay to lower, the PTO speed,
the ground speed limit, the turnaround position,
and ground speed; all with just the tap of the
paddle control.
Note:
The P
ADDLE
C
ONTROL
function is not
available when using a stationary attachment.
•
The S
WITCH
C
ONTROL
is the traditional PTO
engagement method and is only controlled by the
PTO switch or the hydraulic auxiliary switch.
Note:
Ensure the parking brake is engaged when the
operator is out of the seat when using a stationary
attachment.
Rate Control
This consists of P
OWER
C
ONTROL
, A
UTOMOTIVE
C
ONTROL
, and R
ATE
C
ONTROL
. This determines how
the engine and traction speed are controlled. The
types of rate control are as follows:
•
P
OWER
C
ONTROL
—the ground speed is variable
through the traction pedal and the engine speed
is locked when either the PTO or the hydraulic
auxiliary switch is engaged or enabled. This is
used for attachments that require a constant PTO
speed and hydraulic flow. Possible uses would be
a pull-behind mower or debris blower.
•
A
UTOMOTIVE
C
ONTROL
—both the engine speed
and the ground speed are variable through the
traction pedal when either the PTO or the hydraulic
auxiliary switch is engaged. The PTO speed
varies with engine speed. Possible uses for this
parameter include a 3-point fertilizer spreader in
which you need to slow the PTO speed to reduce
spreader throwing distance or to slow the machine
to maintain safe machine operation.
You can set the minimum speed alarm to remind
the operator to maintain speed as soon as it is
safe to do so.
Note:
With the proper parameter settings, you
can set the maximum operating speed and set the
warning buzzer for the minimum speed. Set the
minimum speed buzzer to remind the operator to
maintain speed as soon as it is safe to do so.
•
R
ATE
C
ONTROL
—the engine speed is locked and
the ground speed is limited and locked to the
speed set in the parameters when the PTO or the
hydraulic auxiliary is engaged. Possible uses for
this parameter are an aerator or spreader when
it is safe to do so.
Note:
If rate control is selected, the machine must be
moving to employ the attachment. Use this setting for
rate-critical attachments.
Decel Response
This controls the reaction time of the machine when
you release the traction pedal.
The types of response are as follows:
1.
L
OW
—traction slows gradually when you release
the traction pedal. This response rate is like
operating a car.
2.
M
EDIUM
—traction slows moderately when you
release the traction pedal. This response is like
operating a hydrostatic drive machine.
3.
H
IGH
—traction slows most quickly when you
release the traction pedal. This response is
recommended when using a loader.
Maximum Transport Speed
This is the maximum ground speed during transport.
This is used when in A
TTACHMENT
M
ODE
but the PTO
and the hydraulic auxiliary switch are disengaged. It
is adjustable from 1.6 to 33.8 km/hr (0.5 to 8 mph)
in 0.16 km/hr (0.1 mph) increments. Adjust this for
each attachment and use a slower speed for large
and heavy attachments.
Maximum Reverse Speed
This is the maximum reverse speed as a percentage
of the maximum transport speed. It is adjustable from
10 to 100% in 10% increments. The recommended
use is 50% or less for most attachments. Use lower
speeds when operating the loader and higher speeds
when using a snow blade.
Maximum Turnaround Speed
This parameter is required only for 3-point attachments
engaged by the paddle. This is the maximum ground
speed when the attachment is lifted to the 3-point
