Using the Lift Cylinder Lever

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Make sure that the vehicle is on a hard, level surface and the park brake is locked before raising the cargo box. If the vehicle is facing uphill with the cargo box raised, the weight of the cargo box can cause the vehicle to tip. Do not perform a service function under a raised attachment without the lift cylinder safety support properly installed.


To Raise Attachment

  1. Start engine.

  2. TCAL45001
    TCAL45001-UN-14MAY13

    Pull and hold back lever (A) to raise attachment.


  3. Release lever. Lever returns to the neutral position, and attachment is held in position with the lift cylinder locked in place.


To Lower Attachment

NOTE: An attachment can be lowered and the lift cylinder retracts with the engine running or the engine stopped.

  1. Push and hold down lever until attachment is lowered or positioned as desired.

  2. Release lever. Lever returns to the neutral position, and attachment is held in position, with the lift cylinder locked in place.

NOTE: When operating the machine with the auxiliary hydraulic PTO engaged, it is recommended that the lift cylinder lever be held down momentarily after the attachment has been lowered. This will firmly seat the load check for the lift cylinder spool which locks the lift cylinder in position.

When operating the machine with a cargo box attachment having the tailgate release kit installed, the lift cylinder lever must be held down momentarily after the box has been lowered. This will lock the tailgate and eliminate tailgate rattle.


To Allow Attachment to Float

NOTE: Float position allows the lift cylinder to move freely for use with some ground following attachments.

Placing the lift cylinder lever in the float position causes a raised attachment to lower by gravity until down. For best control of raised loads, it is recommended that the float position is not used to lower attachments.

  1. Push lever (A) down, through “lower” position, and with extra force, push lever down past detent to lock lever into float position.

  2. Pull up lever to release float position.

  3. Release lever. Lever returns to the neutral position, and attachment is held in position, with the lift cylinder locked in place.
