SECTION 2 - OPERATION

3-POINT HITCH CONTROLS

There are two control switches and two rotary control knobs located on the right console of the cab, and a flow control adjustment on the 3-point hitch electrohydraulic valve that controls the 3-point hitch. The function of these controls is as follows:

Automatic Raise/Lower Switch

Switch, 1, controls the 3-point hitch when the system is in the automatic mode. Pressing the switch will put the system into the automatic mode from the manual mode. When the system is in the automatic mode, it will automatically adjust the implement depth position as defined by the operator using the depth control.

Pressing the top of the switch when the system is in the automatic mode will cause the hitch to raise to its fullest upward position for transporting the implement or when turning at the end of a field. Pressing the bottom of the switch when the system is in the automatic mode will cause the hitch to lower to a predetermined position as defined by the operator with the depth control knob.

When the system is in the automatic mode, and the auto raise/lower switch is depressed for either raise or lower, the hitch will cycle through its full range of movement. There is no incremental control of the hitch in the automatic mode.

Anytime the system is in the automatic mode, the small indicator light, 1, will be illuminated.
