V. OPERATING INFORMATION HYDROSTATIC SYSTEM CONTINUED
Traction Valve The Model 204 detasseler comes equipped with special hydraulic valves for increased traction (one in the front hydraulic loop and one in the rear hydraulic loop). These valves greatly reduce spin-out if muddy conditions prevail, or if wheels lose traction for any reason. The valve in the rear loop is active at all times. The valve in the front loop (fig 5.12) is activated by a switch on the floor in front of the operator’s seat (fig 5.11). When the traction valve is activated an FIG 5.11 indicator on the instrument panel will light up (fig. 5.13).
NOTE: To prevent hydraulic loop damage, do not operate the front traction valve continuously. Activate the front traction valve only when needed. Shut the traction valve switch off when clear of problem area.
