Multi-Function Lever (Electrical)

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the value 000 is keyed in at address SIC041 before operating the front loader. See "Customization" in the "Diagnostic Trouble Codes" section.

NOTE: Requires IVT, PowrQuad Plus or AutoQuad Plus transmission.

Multi-function lever (A) permits two SCVs to be operated at the same time. By means of rocker switch (C) an additional selective control valve can be operated (3rd function).

Switch (B) locks the lever.

Switches (E) and (F) enable other functions to be carried out.

Interlock switch actuator (D) prevents accidental actuation of the multi-function lever. The lever can operate only when the actuator is open (the operator's hand must hold it open). If loader fails to operate after hand is placed in the actuator, this may be because the lever was not in neutral position when actuator switch was opened. To remedy this, move lever back to neutral position to activate system.

If the lever is held in neutral position for longer than 10 minutes, the hydraulic functions are locked out. To overcome this lock-out, take your hand out of the actuator for a moment. In case of malfunctions (e.g. part of system not working or operating error) the system can also be reactivated completely or partly by carrying out the procedure described above.

Pulling lever (A) back makes the front loader rise. Pushing the lever forward until perceptible resistance is reached makes the front loader go down. If the lever is pushed forward beyond the resistance, it engages in a detent and the front loader is in its float position.

Moving the lever to the left makes the loader bucket tip up. Moving the lever to the right until perceptible resistance is reached makes the loader bucket dump. If the lever is moved to the right beyond the resistance and held there, the loader bucket dumps quickly ("quick dump").

If the lever is moved to the right beyond the resistance twice in quick succession and held there, the loader bucket will vibrate.

NOTE: In cold weather, there may be brief periods when the loader does not operate properly. When the temperature drops below -15°C (5°F), the stepper motors for the valves that operate the telescopic boom, bucket and grab become slower and may stop functioning altogether. They automatically go into an internal warm-up mode, which will warm up the stepper motor before they start to function again. These valves are mounted externally and may be affected by the wind. If the E-ICV control valves have not been in use for a protracted period, or if the tractor has been transported, the stepper motors may need to be warmed up before the loader will function. The warm-up period will vary depending on the weather conditions, but it should not take more than a few minutes.
