7. Lowering speed control
The lowering speed of the hydraulic lift system can be controlled by ad-
justing the lowering speed control. (Lift speed cannot be adjusted.) Adjust
the lowering speed whenever you change attachments.
l Turning the knob clockwise slows the lowering speed.
l Turning the knob counter-clockwise increases lowering speed.
l Turning the knob fully clockwise stops any lowering of the lift
system. Do not overtighten the knob.
To adjust the lowering speed:
1. Park the tractor on level ground with the engine running at about
1500 to 2000 RPM. Place the Main Transmission Selector in neutral
and set the parking brake.
.
2. Turn the lowering speed control fully clockwise.
3. Move the Lift Control Lever to the “UP” position.
4. After the attachment has reached its maximum height, move the lift
control lever to the “DOWN” position. The attachment should not
lower.
5. Slowly turn the lowering speed control knob counter-clockwise to
set the desired lowering speed. (It should take about 2 seconds for
the attachment to move from its highest position to the ground.)
Lowering speed control knob turns 4 to 4.5 turns until it stops. There is a
little free play when the knob is turned counterclockwise after it is turned
clockwise to the full, and the attachment starts to lower from the position
where the resistance is felt in the knob.
