Operate Hydraulic Dual Selective Control Valve (SCV)

Avoid injury! Escaping fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before connecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

  • Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids.
  • If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source. Such information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, United States. In the United States and Canada only, this information may be obtained by calling 1-800-822-8262.

This machine series is equipped with a hydraulic selective control valve (SCV) and hydraulic outlets to operate hydraulically driven implements.

The machine-mounted hydraulic outlets are female quick couplers color coded for easy hookup.

Implement hydraulic hoses are also color coded. Match the color coded hose ends to the color coded hydraulic couplers on the machine when making connections.

F - Information Label

When the implement hydraulic hoses are connected to the yellow and black couplers, move the dual SCV lever (E) left to divert fluid to the black connector line and return through the yellow connector line. Move the lever right to divert fluid to the yellow connector line and return through the black connector line. Move the lever to the full right or “regeneration position” to divert fluid to the black connector line for faster loader bucket dumping.

When the implement hydraulic hoses are connected to the red and blue couplers, move the dual SCV lever (E) rearward to divert fluid to the blue connector line and return through the red connector line. Move the lever forward to divert fluid to the red connector line and return through the blue connector line. Move the lever to the full forward or “float” position to remove pressure in both connector lines and allow fluid to flow back and forth between the lines. The lever may be left in the “float” position.

Refer to the information label (F) for assistance. See your implement operator manual for implement functions which correspond to lever positions.

Avoid damage! To prevent contamination of female quick couplers, install color-coded hose ends in the couplers when not being used.
