(1) RAISE position (2) HOLD position (3) FLOAT position (4) LOWER position | |
The hoist control is located to the left of the operator's seat. The hoist control has four positions: RAISE, HOLD, FLOAT and LOWER. The truck should normally be operated with the hoist control in the FLOAT position.
The hoist control is mechanically connected to a valve spool in the hoist control valve. The hoist control valve is located in the hydraulic tank. A spring on the end of the valve spool moves the valve spool and the hoist control when the hoist control is released. The spring will move the valve spool and the spring will move the hoist control from the RAISE position to the HOLD position or from the LOWER position to the FLOAT position. A detent on the valve spool holds the valve spool in the FLOAT position.
