Hydraulic Flow Control / Stop Knob

■Hydraulic Flow Control / Stop KnobWARNING

Lowering the 3-point hitch too fast can lead to accident or failure.

Adjust the hydraulic flow control / stop knob so that the time for lowering the implement from the highest position to the lowest position becomes 2 seconds or longer.

The lowering speed of the lower link is governed by the position of the hydraulic flow control / stop knob. Also, this knob is used to stop the lower link at an intended position.

(a)Turning the knob clockwise will cause the lowering speed to decrease.

Tighten the knob by fully turning clockwise to stop the lower link.

(b)Turning the knob counterclockwise will cause the lowering speed to increase.

11-2WARNING

Be careful to avoid injury:

NEVER use the hydraulic flow control / stop knob for holding an implement in the raised position for maintenance. Loss of hydraulic pressure may cause the implement to drop suddenly. Lower the implement onto solid blocks or remove before starting any maintenance.

IMPORTANT:

●For prolonged loader work with a weight attached to the lower link, raise the lower link to any position and fully tighten the hydraulic flow control / stop knob.
