Selective Control Valves

LX1037195-UN-17MAY06

A - Lock function 1

B - Lock function 2

C - No lock function

The tractor may be equipped with three different types of selective control valves: 100 series, 200 series or 350 series.

100 Series control valves provide the functions Raise and Lower plus a Float Position.

Besides these functions, 200 Series control valves provide a lock function (A) which holds the control lever in the Raise or Lower position until it is moved manually.

350 Series control valves also have an additional lock function (B), which holds the control lever in the Raise or Lower position until the pressure in the oil circuit has reached a predetermined value (e.g. when the remote control cylinder has reached its end position).

Neither locking function is activated in position (C). The control lever returns to neutral as soon as it is released.

If an implement (e.g. hydraulic cylinder) is connected, pressure connection (e.g. extending cylinder) has to be connected to the lower coupler. With 200 Series selective control valves, a valve prevents rapid loss of pressure caused by leakage (e.g. retracting cylinder) when the engine is shut off. 100 Series selective control valves are NOT equipped with such a valve. On 350 Series selective control valves, the likelihood of leakage is further diminished.
