753 aux hydraulics question

Sabre124 · Mar 22, 2015

Hi, I am new to owning the 753.ni have some other machines that are older and more straight forward ms impel hydraulics... I am making a bolt on grapple for the machine... And I don't know much about the aux hydraulics on this machine and I don't know much about the electronic controls for it either ... Does anyone have any explanation of the set up on this machine and maybe some ideas on how you would run he controls for this. Thank you

What do you need to know?
The aux hydraulics work pretty well the same as other machines, just a little more pressure and flow. Rather than wiggling the right stick, you use the thumb switch on the handle.

Well I noticed that there are the two hydraulic connections near the bucket and there is one electrical connector there too...so that being said. There are 3 switches on each handle..I am assuming that most of the switches go out to the electrical connector for differant options for attachments ..that thumb switch..pushing it left and then right..does that change flow on the two aux hydraulic lines....in my case for controlling a grapple ...open and closed? Thank you

The electrical connector is for an attachment like a bobcat brand snowblower or angle broom, something that has multiple function. For a single hydraulic circuit like a grapple it is not used. Connect your two hoses. From there use the thumb rocker switch on the right stick.

The extra switches are for a lock on feature, one is a side to side selector.
