CAUTION: Overheated hydraulic oil can cause personal injury and component malfunctions. To prevent hydraulic oil from overheating, DO NOT hold joystick control lever in operating position for an extended period of time.

A - Joystick Control Lever

B - Front—Boom Lower

C - Back—Boom Raise

D - Left—Bucket Rollback (Curl)

E - Right—Bucket Tilt (Dump)

F - Two-Function Zone

G - Slow Speed

H - Fast Speed

I - Detented “Float” Position

J - Fast Dump Position (Two-Function Control Lever only)

While joystick control lever (A) can be used to operate other hydraulically driven devices, it is most commonly used to operate a loader attachment.

Lever controls lifting and lowering of the boom as well as tilting (dump) and rollback (curl) of the bucket.

Both two-function control levers use full forward detented position for “FLOAT” operation.

Two-function control lever has a momentarily detented position (full right) used to fast dump the bucket.

1. NOTE: Roman numerals do not apply to this application.

   A single function operates when control lever (A) is moved straight away from center, in one of four primary directions (front, back, left or right).

   • Front—Boom Lower (B)
     • Full-front (I) is a detented position used for “float” operations.
   • Back—Boom Raise (C)
   • Left—Bucket Rollback (Curl) (D)
   • Right—Bucket Tilt (Dump) (E)
     • Two-Function Control Lever: Full-right (J) is a momentarily detented regenerative position where return oil is used to fast dump the bucket.
   
   

2. Two functions operate simultaneously when lever is moved at 45° angles from primary directions, into a two-function zone (F). Two-function zones are: Boom Lower/Bucket Dump, Bucket Dump/Boom Raise, Boom Raise/Bucket Curl, Bucket Curl/Boom Lower.

3. When lever is released to spring-centered neutral position, mid-mount valve holds boom and bucket in position.

4. Cylinder operating speed depends on how far from center the control lever is moved. When lever is first moved from center, hydraulic functions operate slowly (G), then move progressively faster as lever is moved further away from center, out to fast speed operating position (H).

“Float”: Push lever full forward into detent when “float” is desired. “Float” position (I) allows loader boom to move up and down freely while traveling over rough ground. Manually return lever to neutral when “float” is no longer needed.

Unlocked

A - Transport Lock

CAUTION: To prevent loader movement, engage control lever transport lock (A) before dismounting tractor. Control lever must be in center (neutral) position for lock to engage.

Transport lock does not lock out switch operated third-function hydraulics, which are active anytime the key is ON.

• Push IN to lock
• Pull OUT to unlock

NOTE: Lock is engaged when dashed line is in against body and lever does not move.
