Auxiliary) is the primary control for the
power unit and consists of two levers. The
primary SDLA control lever (J) controls
the speed, direction of travel, and lift of
the hitch arms. The secondary SDLA
control lever (K) controls the auxiliary
hydraulic circuit.
S
- Speed: the amount of forward or back-
ward movement of the primary SDLA
lever controls the ground speed of the
power unit.
D
- Direction: the forward or backward
movement of the primary SDLA lever
controls the direction of the power unit.
L
- Lift: the lift function of the primary SDLA
lever has four positions: Up, Hold,
Down, and Float Lock. “Hold” is the
default position; this holds the lift arms
from moving up or down. Pulling the
lever to the left raises the hitch arms.
Pushing the lever to the right lowers the
hitch arms. Float position is attained by
pushing the lever to the right until the
float detent locks the lever in place.
A
- Auxiliary: the left or right movement of
the secondary SDLA lever controls the
functions of attachments that require
the auxiliary hydraulic circuit. An
optional float kit (part # 23.0111-7) is
available for the auxiliary circuit.
