NOTE: Hydraulic control levers operate differently depending on attachment. See attachment operator’s manual before using hydraulic control levers with an attachment.

When attachment hydraulic hoses are connected to couplers (A) (black) and (B) (green), push lower hydraulic control lever (C) forward to divert fluid to coupler (A) and return through coupler (B). Pull lever backward to divert fluid to coupler (B) and return through coupler (A). Push lever to the full forward or float position to remove pressure in both lines and allow fluid to flow back and forth between lines. Lever should return to neutral position when released.

When attachment hydraulic hoses are connected to couplers (D) (yellow) and (E) (silver), push upper hydraulic control lever (F) forward to divert fluid to coupler (D) and return through coupler (E). Pull lever backward to divert fluid to coupler (E) and return through coupler (D). Lever should return to neutral position when released.

NOTE: When not using lower hydraulic control lever, periodically move lever back and forth to maintain lubrication. Be sure lever is returned to middle (neutral) position and not locked in forward (float) position.
