Using Aux Hydraulics

[ancomcabs]

Bobcat 630, Took out the seat to access the bolt that locks the Aux hydraulics on the right hand steering control. While in there I noticed there was no control arm connected to the right hand lever but a bolt was there for it, found the control arm and bolted to the control arm, hope that is all that needed to be done as I had no manual/diagram with me. Any one know? Also I'm a little confused as to how the aux hyd work, with a power angle plow for instance once connected how will I control the left and right angling? Do I just stop the machine and move the right hand lever left and right to angle it? What about a log splitter that has it's own control would I need to do anything in the cab to make sure hyd oil is getting diverted to the splitter? Thanks

The plow will angle sitting or on the move (so long as the engine is running) buy moving the rh steering lever either right or left of center will make the plow turn oposite ways.
If you pull the lever to the right firmly, it should stick in a detent that will hold the flow on for use with your log splitter. There is no detent to the LH side though. So you may have to swap couplers on your splitter hoses if the flow is the wrong way.
Many of these loaders had the Aux unhooked or locked out, because if you have no attachment conected to the quick couplers and you pull the lever into the detent the foot pedals will no longer function.
Many people mistakenly lock the aux hydraulics into detent then think they have had a hydraulic failure or can't start the machine because of the load on the pump.

I am not sure on the 630, but on my 742B, the right hand steering lever controls my aux hydraulics. I move it left or right to angle my snow plow blade and as mentioned, either stationary or on the move. It works great.
For continuous flow (such as when using my backhoe attachment) I move my right hand steering lever all the way to the right. You can feel it go into the detent.
In either case, it doesn't affect the steering or operation of the machine itself.
Have fun,
John

Thanks for the explanations, very clear, I believe my detent is to the right.

Ok I stand corrected, been to long since I sold my 553
I'll edit my original post for future reference so it is correct.

I thought I would mention that information on auxillary hydraulics in the service and parts manuals for the 630 lacks detail and information- the best explanation and information for it is in the operator's manual. That is part of why I purchase all three manuals for each machine I own.

Dont wanna hijack your post..But I cant feel any detents in the right stick of my 743..anyone ever seen this?

sure the detent could be gummed up, or someone had it apart and lost the balls.

I had 632 which is basically the same thing and it would not go into detent because a hose was interfering with the linkage back by the valve
