3 - CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

RIGHT-HAND SIDE CONTROLS

Hydraulic power lift (HPL)

The HPL lever (1) is located on the right-hand control pod.

The lever controls the position of the two lift arms.

DANGER

Crushing hazard!

Make sure area is clear of all persons before

lowering equipment.

Failure to comply will result in death or serious

injury.

D0016A

To lower the lift arms, first make sure the drop rate con-

trol valve (2) is open, then move the HPL lever forward. To

raise the lift arms, move the lever rearward. An adjustable

NHIL13CT01178AA

lower stop (3) is located in this quadrant for returning the

lever to a preset lowering position of the hitch. An ad-

justable upper HPL control lever height stop (4) prevents

the control lever from exceeding the lift limit and causing

the tractor hydraulic system to go over the relief valve set-

ting.

The hydraulic lift system provides accurate, smooth, and

instant hydraulic power for raising a variety of compatible

equipment whenever the engine is running. The system's

position control feature maintains the selected height or

depth of three-point linkage equipment in relation to the

tractor. When the hydraulic lift control lever is moved to a

higher or lower setting in the quadrant, the system repo-

sitions the equipment to a higher or lower position and

NHIL13CT01026AA

maintains the selected position.

Position control

Position control provides easy, accurate control of the

three-point linkage equipment which operated above the

ground, such as sprayers, rakes, mowers etc. It also pro-

vides uniform depth when using a blade or similar equip-

ment on ground level.

When operating in position control, there is a definite re-

lationship between the position of the control lever in the

quadrant and the position of the equipment. The lever

must be moved to change the position of the equipment

relative to the tractor. The system will automatically main-

tain the equipment in the selected position.

3 - CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Draft control - optional

The optional draft control lever (1) will be located in the slot

on the right-hand control pod, next to the position control

lever (2).

The draft control lever sets the desired depth of the at-

tached implement. Draft control is best when using im-

plements that operate in the ground, such as plows, har-

rows, or cultivators. The draft loading on the implement

increases and decreases as the working depth or the soil

resistance changes.

To set the draft control, move the position control lever (2)

to its full forward position. Then set the implement draft

depth lower by moving draft control lever forward, or set

93103864

it higher by moving lever rearward.

Implement depth will be promotional to draft, depending

on the soil conditions. With draft control, the lift keeps the

tractive effort steady automatically.

You can limit the range manual draft lever operation by

moving and tightening the stop (3).

Combined draft and position control

You can use draft and position control together to oper-

ate in draft control but prevent the implement from sink-

ing excessively when soil conditions change. First set the

draft control lever with the position control lever fully for-

ward. Then move the position control lever back until the

lift arms start to rise. The position control lever sets the

lowered position of the hydraulic lift.

Float operation

Move the draft control lever and position control lever fully

forward. The three-point linkage will now be free to "float"

or follow the ground contour, a feature useful for scraper

blades, etc.

3 - CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Rear remote control valve(s) - optional

Your tractor can be equipped with one or two optional rear

remote valves. The control lever(s) (#1) and (#2) is/are

located in front of the right-hand control pod.

NOTE: Rear remote valve kits are configured in either

single spool or two spool. Once a single spool valve is

installed, you CANNOT stack another single spool valve.

You must purchase the two spool valve kit.

To operate the single or two spool valve, pull the selected

control lever rearward to extend the cylinder and push the

control lever forward to retract the cylinder. Release the

control lever to stop the cylinder in any position before it is

fully extended. The lever automatically returns to neutral.

Definitions of system components and oper-

ations

The following terms will define the system components

and operational modes.

• Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) - Is a catalytic con-

verter that reduces emission element such as hydro-

carbons, carbon monoxide and unburned fuel.

• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) - Is a filter that captures

soot from the engine exhaust.

• Burner - This component generates the required heat

to burn the soot that is contained in the (DPF) during

the regeneration process.

•

(DPF) switch - Switch located on the right-hand side of

the dash. This switch is used to stop or delay the re-

generation process or to exit the inhibited regeneration

mode.

• Regeneration - This is the process of burning/cleaning

of the soot that is contained in the (DPF) by the burner.

• Inhibited Regeneration - The regeneration process is

disabled by the use of the (DPF) switch

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Diesel

Particulate Filter (DPF)

The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and the Diesel Par-

ticulate Filter (DPF) function is to reduce engine exhaust

hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

This system converts exhaust emissions to harmless car-

bon dioxide and water. The (DPF) also traps Particular

Matter (PM)

To meet tier 4 emission regulations the Diesel Oxidation

Catalyst and Diesel Particulate Filter (1) and burner (2)

are installed on your tractor and are located under the

engine hood of the tractor.

stack and fixed hood area becomes extremely

hot. Park the machine outside and away from

combustible or highly flammable material.

Failure to comply could result in death or se-

rious injury.

W1165B

In this operational mode, the operator does not have to

NHIL13CT01216AA

2

take any actions, the system is activated automatically by

the engine electronic controller.

The following conditions will activate the burner:

• Soot load of (DPF) is 60% or more of capacity.

• Every four hours of tractor operation after last regener-

ation.

• Engine exhaust temperature reaches designated re-

generation temperature.

•

(DPF) inhibited indicator light is “OFF”.

NOTE: Duration of regeneration operation is approxi-

mately 30 to 40 minutes. During the regeneration it is

NHIL13CT01218AA

normal to have a smell of burning or overheating.

During the regeneration operation, the (DPF) regenera-

tion indicator light (1) and (DPF) temperature indicator

light (2) will both be illuminated.

Depending on the soot rate of the (DPF) the (DPF) regen-

eration indicator light will show several different blinking

frequencies during the regeneration process.

The engine warning indicator light (3) will blink when there

is a excessive soot load in the (DPF). Stop working tractor

and prepare for (DPF) regeneration.

NOTICE: Switching the key switch to the “OFF” position

during regeneration mode is not recommended. Soot in

the (DPF) will not be completely burned and may increase

fuel consumption or damage to the regeneration burner. It

is recommended for users to operate regeneration mode

until all indicator lights are “OFF” with the key switch in the

“ON” position.

NOTE: In case of turning off the engine during regenera-

tion mode, the regeneration mode will resume again when

restarting the engine.

NOTICE: After heavy work of tractor, allow tractor to run at

idle for approximately five minutes to allow components in

the fuel circuit to cool down. If you try to start the tractor

before this cooling operation has completed, the engine

will not run. This will lead to longer crank times before the

engine runs.
