Ride Control - Travel at high speeds over rough terrain causes bucket movement and a swinging motion. The system for ride control acts as a shock absorber by absorbing forces from the bucket and by dampening forces from the bucket. This system also stabilizes the entire machine.
Ride control can cause inadvertent movement of the loader arms if not used correctly. Don't use when using loader or backhoe.
The ride control must be turned off in order to raise the front tires off the ground with the loader bucket.Note: In some countries that require lock valves for material handling operations, the ride control must be turned off so that the lock valves can function properly. Lock valves and ride control cannot function at the same time.Standard Transmission
