Using SCV Control Levers

RXA0068344

Armrest Controls-SCV Levers


A-SCV Lever Cover
B-Neutral Position
C-Extend Slow


D-Retract Slow
E-Extend Fast


F-Retract Fast
G-Detent Position, Extend


H-Detent Position, Retract
I-Float Position

causym CAUTION: To avoid possible personal injury ensure hoses are not reversed (extending when it should retract).

NOTE: CommandArm is equipped with four SCV levers. An optional multi-function control lever is available to operate SCV functions five and six.

Push SCV lever covers (A) forward when SCV is not in use.

SCV control levers (I-VI) have six positions:

  • Neutral (B) -Lever returns to center position when released except in float position.

  • Extend (C & E) (rearward between Neutral and Extend Detent)-Variable flow to extend cylinder, proportional to lever movement and flow setting; shuts off when released to center position.
  • Extend Detent (G) (rearward to "click" position)-Timed flow to extend cylinder, based on detent time setting and at a rate set by flow rate control (See ADJUSTING TIMED DETENT and ADJUSTING SCV FLOW RATE in this section). Lever returns to neutral when released.
  • Retract (D & F) (forward between Neutral and Retract Detent)-Variable flow to retract cylinder, proportional to lever movement and flow setting; shuts off when released to center position.
  • Retract Detent (H) (forward to "click" position)-Timed flow to retract cylinder, based on detent time
    setting and at a rate set by flow rate control. (See ADJUSTING TIMED DETENT and ADJUSTING SCV FLOW RATE in this section.) Lever returns to neutral when released.
  • Float (I) (fully forward and down into locked position)-Valve is open to sump to allow cylinder to extend or retract as implement follows ground contour; must be pulled up and out of locked position to disengage. Float is also used to allow hydraulic motors to coast when shutting off an implement.

NOTE: To relieve hydraulic pressure in implement, move SCV control lever to float position, while engine is running.
