SECTION 2 - OPERATION

When using a double-acting cylinder, connect the feed hose from the cylinder to the bottom coupler and the return hose to the top coupler. To extend a double-acting cylinder, pull the remote lever rearward to position 2. To retract the cylinder, push the lever forward to position 3. The cylinder can be put into the float position by pushing the remote lever full forward in position 4.

When using a single-acting cylinder, connect the supply line to the lower coupler. To extend the cylinder, pull the remote lever rearward to position 2. To retract, push the control lever fully forward to “float,” position 4.

IMPORTANT: Always use the float position to lower a single-acting cylinder. The retract position is for double-acting cylinders only.

To disconnect the coupler, make sure that the remote control lever is in the neutral position and the engine is off. Check to be sure that the implement has its transport stops in place or is lowered to the ground.

Grasp the coupler tip behind its hose connection and firmly pull the tip straight back from the coupler. Cover the tip with a protective cap to minimize contamination.
