A - Oil Flow Blocked

B - Hydraulic Raise, Gravity Lower

C - Hydraulic Raise and Lower

The diverter valve is located just outside the rear window on the rear left corner of the cab and only controls front hitch oil flow. Diverter valve handles can be accessed and changed from within the machine cab. There are three settings for the diverter valve:

  • Oil flow blocked (A). Front hitch does not move.
  • Hydraulically raised, gravity lowered using weight of implement (B).
  • Hydraulically raised and lowered (C).

CAUTION: If rear SCV I couplers are used for a rear implement, multi-valve must be in setting (A) to block flow to the front hitch.

IMPORTANT: When front mounted implements with retaining chains are used, avoid damage by selecting setting (B). Operate SCV I in float to allow implement to follow the ground contour.


Front Hitch Operation

CAUTION: Do not attach hoses to rear SCV I couplers if using front hitch. Unexpected movement and undesired performance occurs.

The front hitch utilizes the SCV I for oil supply and control. To operate front hitch:

  • Retract SCV I to lower the hitch.
  • Extend SCV I to raise hitch.
  • Push SCV I fully forward to float the front hitch.

Front Hydraulic Couplers

A - Retract Coupler

B - Extend Coupler

CAUTION: Do not attach hoses to rear SCV II couplers if using front couplers. Unexpected movement and undesired performance occurs.

  1. Open cover and connect hoses to retract and extend couplers (A and B) accordingly.

    NOTE: Connection and disconnection are possible when ports are not under pressure. Move SCV II lever to release pressure as required.

  2. Use SCV II to operate front hydraulic couplers.

  3. When removing, firmly pull to disconnect hoses.
