Lift Kickout Position and Lower Kickout Position - To set the lift kickout, raise the bucket to the desired position above the midway point. Then depress the bottom of the kickout set switch. The boom will return to the programmed position when the raise detent is activated and the boom is below the kickout position. |
To set the lower kickout, lower the bucket to the desired position below the midway point. Then depress the bottom of the kickout set switch. The boom will return to the programmed position when the float detent is activated and the boom is at least a foot above the kickout position.

Bucket Kickout Position - To set the bucket kickout position, tilt the bucket to the desired digging angle and depress the top of the kickout set switch. The bucket will return to the programmed position when the tilt control lever is placed in the tilt back detent and the bucket is dumped beyond the kickout. |
Pilot Hydraulic Bucket Controls
Note: On later machines with pilot hydraulic bucket controls, the operator must perform one lift cycle in order to energize the electromagnetic detents. This feature prevents movement of the implement at start-up if the lift control has been accidentally moved to the detent.
On machines with pilot hydraulic bucket controls, the kickouts and the positioner must be adjusted manually.
Reference: Refer to the “Machine Adjustments” section of the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the correct adjustment procedures.

Kickout Neutralizer (IT62G and 962G Parallel Lift Machines) - Push the top of the switch in order to turn off the lever detents. Push the bottom of the switch in order to turn on the lever detents. |
The lever detents must be turned off when certain attachments such as pallet forks and material handling arms are being used. This will prevent the control lever from being moved into the detent position when you are handling delicate loads.
