3. Descent speed adjust knob
Descending speed can be pre-adjusted to compensate for the weight of
the attachment. Adjust the knob so that an attachment will be lowered to
the ground from its highest position within l-2 seconds with the lift lever
in the FAST DOWN position.
Thus, lighter attachments may require more FAST pre-adjustment and
heavier attachments may require more SLOW pre-adjustment. However,
too much or too little pre-adjustment will limit the operating speed range
selectable by the lift lever.
Before adjusting the descending speed, it is necessary to set the lift lever
in NEUTRAL.
Turning the knob clockwise toward SLOW will decrease the speed, and
turning it counterclockwise toward FAST will increase the speed. The at-
tachment will not descend when this knob is turned fully to SLOW.
