SECTION 2 - OPERATION
2-127
For the retract position, the lever, 1, should be
moved away from the operator one position. An
adjustable pressure detent will hold the control
lever in this position until the cylinder reaches the
end of its travel, then release to the neutral
position. To prevent over-travel into the float
position, the lockout lever can be moved to the
first (center) position.
IMPORTANT: Do not manually restrain a lever to
override the detent release for continuous
operation or excessive noise and detent damage
may occur.

The float position is the position farthest away
from the operator (two detents from neutral).
The float position will be locked out when the
lockout lever is in the first detent and the control
lever is in neutral. Once in the retract or float
position, the lockout lever can be moved to the
second detent to prevent the lever from moving
back into the neutral position for motor operation.
The float position is generally used for
implements that are designed to “float” over the
ground during normal operation. When the
remote valve is in the float position, hydraulic oil
on the rod end and piston end of a cylinder can
flow freely from one side of the cylinder to the
other. Figure 2-168
LOCKOUT LEVERS
Below each control lever is a corresponding
lockout lever to prevent or limit travel of the
control lever. The lockout lever has three
positions.
The rearward position, 1, (closest to the
operator) releases the lock and allows full travel
to all control lever positions.
