4.4 Description of hydraulic outputs
4.4.1 Using the hydraulic outputs
Implement lifter (F1)
The hydraulic implement lifter only works when the engine is running.
However, it can be lowered to the floating position when the engine is off.
Never leave the machine with the implement in the transport position. Risk
of serious crushing injuries by the implement as it lowers quickly if the
control is unintentionally affected.
The lever has the four following positions:
Floating position
. Move the lever to its front position, where it locks. The
implement is now lowered to its floating position. Also see “15”.
In the floating position, the implement always rests against the ground at the same
pressure and can follow the contours of the ground.
Use the floating position when carrying out work.
Lowering
. The implement lowers regardless of its weight. The lowering speed
can be set using the control (4). The lowering force is determined by the
implement’s weight and the hydraulic down force that is applied when lowering.
Locking in the transport position
. The lever has returned to the neutral position
after raising and lowering. The implement is locked in the transport position.
Raising
. Move the lever to the rear position until the implement is in the highest
position (transport position). Then release the lever to lock in the transport
position.
Check valve lowering (4)
The check valve regulates the speed when lowering. The speed must be adjusted
according to the weight of the actual implement.
Increasing the lowering speed:
Undo the nut and turn the knob to the left.
Reducing the lowering speed:
Undo the nut and turn the knob to the right.
The check valve must be locked in the set position with the nut.
