Using the auxiliary hydraulics
Auxiliary hydraulics (hydraulically operated attachments) are controlled with the lever on the control panel, or with
the buttons on the 6-function joystick ( see page 39).
The locking position of the lever facilitates operation of the attachments that require constant oil flow (rotary broom,
backhoe etc.). Make sure to release the lever when not operating an attachment to prevent unnecessary waste of
energy.
DANGER
Risk of serious injuries from moving parts of the attachment - Keep all persons
clear from the danger area of the attachment and loader boom.
Going near an
attachment that is in operation can cause a serious risk of injury. Switch off auxiliary
hydraulics before leaving driver’s seat. Operate the controls only when sitting in the
driver’s seat.
The 2-way auxiliary hydraulics control lever ( see page 39) directs hydraulic as follows:
1.
Moving towards the locking position will direct hydraulic flow to port
1. This is normally the normal or positive movement of the
attachment.
2.
Moving the lever away from the locking position will direct flow in
reverse direction, pressure in port 2.
3.
The third port is a free return line to tank, this is required by some
attachments.
4.
The 4
th
port is for the integrated electric socket of the optional
Attachment control switch pack.
On Avant eSeries loaders, the auxiliary hydraulics can be used when:
Driver is seated on the driver's seat
or
External use mode is selected with the Operation mode switch, see page 55.
WARNING
Risk of ejection of machine parts, stones, soil, and other debris - Overspeed of the
attachment can cause injuries or dangerous movements of the attachment.
The
attachment can break down in a dangerous way, throw objects, or produce excessive
noise and vibrations if operated at too high speed. Never exceed maximum allowed
hydraulic flow of the attachment. Check correct operating flow from the operator's
manuals of the attachment, and use the chart on page 30 of this manual.
