Mitsubishi MT160D Instruction Book

POSITION CONTROL
Position control is provided for determining and holding
the position of an implement as desired by means of a lever.
Normally it is utilized for the work employing rotary tiller,
broadcaster, mower or rake. To use the position control,
operate the control lever in the following manner:
• Pulling the lever backward will cause an implement to
rise.
• Pushing
forward will cause an implement to lower by
its
own weight.
• Placing the lever at certain position, causes implement
to move to and stop at the height corresponding to the
position of the lever.
• For holding the height of the implement at certain
position constantly, use stopper A to fix the lever
position, which will make the lowered position of an
implement to be maintained at the constant height.
A CAUTION
Stopper B is provided to prevent the hydraulic safety
valve from being actuated. Be sure not to move it for
any purpose other than hydraulic power take off.
For returning the displaced stopper B to its original
position, first operate the position control lever in
upward direction, then from the position where
actuating sound of the safety valve starts, slide the
stopper B downward by 5 to 8 mm and tighten it
there.
FLOW CONTROL KNOB
MT160/D and MT180/D provide the flow control knob
which controls the lowering speed of the implement. It is
located in front of the hydraulic case under the seat.
When the knob is turned clockwise, the lowering speed
slows down, and when further turned, the control valve is
closed. As a result, the implement will be held in its posi-
tion and will not move downward any further. Turning
the knob counterclockwise increases the lowering speed.
NOTE
Adjust the lowering speed according to the type of
an implement and operating condition.
Rotary tiller operation ...... Lowering speed - Slow
Plow operation ........... Lowering speed - Fast
AWARNING
1. For travelling on the road, be sure to turn the flow
control knob all the way clockwise and lock it
there.
2. During tine replacement, or grass or straw removal
of rotary tiller, or during inspection of implement,
for the safety, place the position control lever in
upward position, shut down the engine and be sure
to lock the flow control lever.
