SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION
3--37
The joystick may also be moved laterally, (R) and (L),
to provide oil flow for equipment connected to the
optional front couplers.
NOTE: With the joystick operating the rear remote
valves, a float (F) position is available by moving the
lever fully to the right. This float facility is not
available when operating with a mid--mounted
2--spool remote valve.
The joystick has the added advantage of being able
to operate two cylinders simultaneously by moving it
diagonally.
IMPORTANT: When operating with a hydraulic
motor always use ‘lower’ and ’float’ positions to
control motor rotation. To stop the motor, move the
lever from the ‘lower’ (drive) position to the ‘float’
position. The motor will then slow to a gradual halt
and not stop abruptly which may cause internal
damage to the motor.

The joystick safety lock lever is used to prevent
accidental operation of the remote valve(s).
The safety lock on the joystick has three positions:
1. Fully out. All joystick movements available.
2. Mid Position. Lateral movement locked out.
3. Fully in. All joystick movements locked.

Setting the Height of the Front Hitch
Height limit control is provided by a rotary knob (1) on
the right-hand console. Fully clockwise is maximum
height. Turn anti-clockwise for minimum height.
NOTE: The height limit setting is affected by the oil
flow through the system. For example, if the flow
control setting is set to maximum and engine speed
is high then hitch height may be up to 100 mm (4 in.)
higher than would be achieved if engine speed and
oil flow rate were low.
