CAUTION: Prevent bodily injury or death. As soon as the button for third-function (if equipped) is released the multi-function lever goes back to its primary functions: dump to the right and rollback to the left.

NOTE: If the loader does not respond as expected to the multi-function lever movement:

  • Check for correct hose connection and electrical connection. (See Identify Hose Connections in the Service section or Attach Loader in the Attaching and Detaching Loader section.)
  • Check tractor hydraulic oil level. (See your tractor Operator’s Manual.)

Third-function needs the loader to be fitted with the required diverter valve. See your John Deere dealer for more information.
