Hydraulic Quick Attach (optional)
The PT-50/60 machines are available
with a hydraulic quick attach mecha-
nism. This feature allows an operator to
fasten or unfasten attachments without
exiting the machine. To use this feature,
make sure the switch is in the unlocked
position, then follow the instructions on
page 11 that describe the process of fas-
tening the attachment to the quick attach
up to the point of locking it in place.
Once the attachment is in place, move
the switch to the lock position, then con-
firm engagement by following steps 1-3.
Bucket Positioning (optional)
The PT-50/60 machines can be
equipped with a self-leveling loader
valve (photo A). This feature is also com-
monly referred to as “bucket positioning”.
This function maintains the position of an
attachment throughout the upward cycle
of the lift arms.
Note:
The bucket positioning feature
works on the upward cycle only. The
operator must position the attachment
manually on the downward cycle.
The bucket positioning feature can be
turned on or off with the switch located
on the dash panel (photo B).
The bucket positioning system does not
automatically level your attachment.
When activated, it works to keep the
attachment in the same relative position
throughout the upward cycle of the lift
arms. For example, if you have a bucket
full of dirt that is fully curled at ground
level, the bucket positioning system will
maintain the position of the bucket dur-
ing the lift cycle to prevent spilling as the
lift arms are raised.
Note:
During the upward cycle, the
bucket positioning function can be over-
ridden by operating the tilt or curl func-
tions of the joystick.
