AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC CONTROLS
An auxiliary bank of Control Valves is located
to the operator’s right. These valves are used to
control all attachments on your tractor.
Your
particular tractor will contain from one to five of
these valves based on the attachments you have.
(K) OVERDRIVE/ACCESSORY CONTROL
This Overdrive/Accessory Control Valve has two
functions.
1) When pushed fully forward
and “locked” into
the Overdrive position, this valve directs the oil
flow of the attachment pump into the track drive
system. When Track Drive Controls are activated,
this feature allows your tractor to gain extra speed
to get out of excavations or move quickly to dump
locations.
In addition, you can travel in “overdrive” for
lighter, higher speed operations. Your tractor will
automatically shift down to regular drive speed
whenever you change an attachment setting
(raise loader, tilt bucket, etc.) then shift back to
overdrive when you are through.
NOTE
: The overdrive feature is not available on
the MH4800.
2) When pulled fully rearward
and “locked” into
the Accessory position, it directs the oil flow to
optional attachments like our Backhoe, log splitter,
etc. Contact our Service Dept. for more
information on specific hydraulic flow rates,
pressures and various uses for this Accessory
setting.
C A U T I O N
: With Control in “accessory
position” (and its mating Valve Port
plugged), all power to the tracks is lost!
Do
not
leave control in this position for any
period of time!
