It's still doing it, but I've narrowed it down to happening only when it's cold/during the first 15 minutes of use. Once it's fully warmed up, it functions properly. I'm able to bypass the lockout by switching the mode switch to red to allow me to drive and holding the manual bucket down override switch to raise/lower the bucket. This is driving me nuts!
When it's cold, the oil will be thicker, so ideally the charge and system pressure should be higher as to not give you any trouble. I was half considering the problem may have been a sender but it should have gone the other way.
Just how cold is it outside? below freezing? i'm just wondering if there is any chance there is water that is freezing plugging something up, a very long shot i know.....
The other thing is that something is bent and when it's cold the metal is binding but when hot it is free to move, but that also doesn't make sense why flipping the switch allows it to work..... Unless the issue is some sort of sender that is binding up.
I sure do hope you find what is the cause of all this.....
