hydraulic flow question

[tippy]

Hello, I'm new to this site and am hoping this is the right place to post my question. I recently purchased a small back hoe for my Bobcat 742. How do I change flow from intermittent flow to constant flow on the snap couplers? I hooked it up and had plenty of pressure to operate the back hoe up - but not back down - until I blew a hose. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tippy

Move the right lever all the way to the right, it should click in and hold providing constant flow. If it won't hold your detent balls will be worn and need replacing to hold it there. I have use elastic strap before, it worked pretty well.
Ensure you have the hoses the rite way around, it could be because the flow is in reverse.
