6.3 Dipper
The third handle in the bank of four valves actuates the DIPPER cylinder.
Like the swing valves, this has three positions.
Pulling the valve handle causes the boom DIPPER cylinder to lift the small boom UP.
Make certain that you do not lift the head in such a fashion that you lift the left rear wheel
off the ground. Install weight as needed to keep at least 1000 lbs. on the left rear wheel.
If the handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center, and the boom will be LOCKED in
position.
Pushing the valve handle will lower the boom.
Again, if the handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center, and the boom will be LOCKED in
position.
Make certain that the Boom swing path is clear of bystanders, power lines, and obstruction
to prevent injury, electrocution, and possible machine damage. Swing Boom SLOWLY
AND CAREFULLY. Avoid sudden starting and stopping.
