In cabin hydraulic lock outs questions for U900

Hi everyone,

I cant seem to figure out how to lock my hydraulic levers into working position for when i want to leave something running without holding it on myself. I understand its a key that fits into the slot on the column, but cant seem to figure out if its the ignition key or what. Thanks in advance!

Your ignition key should fit in the slot in the hydraulic lever casting in the steering column. If you turn the key it will "lock out" the hydraulic controls, so they cannot accidentally be used. It WILL NOT to my knowledge lock them in on or float position.
Regards,
PKK

Each of the hydraulic control arms can be fitted with a guide which has a slot such that when the handle is pulled backward/forward, then down, the handle stays there. Not every truck has those locking type guides. Sounds like yours does not.

PKK is correct that you cannot use the key to lock the circuits 'on'.
