Activating the optional hydraulics
Activating the optional hydraulics using the control lever
You can activate the loader lift arms hydraulic connections
(Fig. 42) using the control lever for the optional hydraulics item Z (Fig. 41).
Place the optional hydraulic control in neutral when the system is not required. This is necessary to avoid overheating the hydraulic system and improve fuel economy.
Clean the quick connecting fittings carefully before connecting the optional hydraulic system fittings together. This will avoid introducing contaminants into the system that can cause damage to the hydraulic components. Keep connections covered when not in use.
•
Move the control lever for the optional hydraulics rearwards (R):
–
The left-hand connection is for the pressure side, the right-hand is for the return line.
•
Move the control lever for the optional hydraulics forwards (L):
–
The right-hand connection is for the pressure side, the left-hand is for the return line.

Hydraulic connections
This function allows you to operate the optional hydraulic connections in continuous use. This function is necessary for certain attachments powered by a hydraulic motor that necessitates continuous use (e.g. broom). Then you do not have to constantly hold the control lever for the optional hydraulics.
•
Move the control lever for the optional hydraulics forwards past normal operation position:
–
The lever will be locked, providing continuous hydraulic pressure and flow.

Item 1 and Item 2 (Fig. 43).
•
Activate the button for optional hydraulics Item 1:
–
The left-hand connection is for the pressure side, the right-hand is for the return line.

Depressurized return line
For some attachments, a depressurized return line is required. The connection for the depressurized return line
is located on the front left of the load arm (Fig. 44). The
connection is designed in such a way that it is not possible to confuse it with the normal connections for the optional hydraulics.
