DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION –

MECHANICAL REMOTE VALVES
Closed centre remote control valves (1) are installed
on all tractors with a closed centre load sensing
variable displacement hydraulic pump.
NOTE: On closed centre remote installations the

upper port of the valve is the cylinder retract port and
the lower port is the cylinder extend port. This is
OPPOSITE to the remote valves installed on
previous tractors.
Up to four remote control valves may be installed and
each operating lever is colour coded for
identification: 5
Lever Colour Valve Position/No.
Green Right–hand outer – I
Blue Right–hand inner – II
Ginger Left–hand inner – III
Black Left–hand outer – IIII
Each remote valve has four operating positions.
Raise (R) – Pull a lever toward you to extend the

cylinder to which it is connected.
Neutral (N) – Push the lever forward to select neutral 6

and de-activate the connected cylinder.
Lower (L) – Push the lever forward, past neutral, to

retract the cylinder.
Float (F) – Push the lever fully forward, beyond the

‘lower’ position, to select ‘float’. This will permit the
cylinder to extend or retract freely, allowing
equipment such as scraper blades to ‘float’ or follow
the ground contour.
When four remote control valves are specified, an
alternative joystick control may be fitted to operate
remote control valves III and IIII. The joystick,
located at the front of the right-hand console,
operates in a cross pattern. The joystick has the
added advantage of being able to operate two
remote control valves simultaneously by moving
the lever diagonally between valve No. III and No.

The flow control adjuster is manually operated and

of oil flowing through the flow control spool. The lock valve is located in the raise port of the
remote valve and is closed whenever the remote
valve is in neutral. The lock valve prevents leakdown

OPERATION OF TWO OR MORE

CONTROL VALVES SIMULTANEOUSLY
Because the stack type remote valves have a
common parallel input gallery and individual flow
control valves it is possible to operate two or more
remotes simultaneously without loss of efficiency.
This is achieved by the flow control spools which

regulate flow through each remote valve
irrespective of pump system pressure.
If these valves were not fitted and two remotes

were operating simultaneously at different
pressures all oil would attempt to flow to the light
load circuit.
The following details the process of operating a

single remote valve and then operating an
additional remote valve at the same time.
When a single service is operated the pressure in

the parallel gallery is at pump pressure.
The pressure in the load sense line to the hydraulic

pump is equal to the operating pressure of the
working remote valve.
Required flow through the remote valve is set by

turning the manual flow control knob. This action
adjusts the size of restriction (3).
The pressure differential across the restriction (3)

is sensed on each end of the flow control valve
spool and causes the spool to move to a position of
equilibrium which adjusts the flow across the spool
metering lands (4).
The adjustment of flow across the metering land

(4) produces a constant flow across the manually
adjusted flow control restriction (3) and through
the remote valve.

6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
It is essential that the flow of oil through two or

more remote valves operating simultaneously at
different pressure is individually controlled
otherwise oil will always flow to the circuit
operating at the lowest pressure.
When operating two or more hydraulic services

the operating pressure in the parallel gallery is at
the highest operating pressure of the hydraulic
system as sensed through the load sense line.
Check valves in the load sense line between each

valve section ensure only the highest pressure is
directed to the pump flow pressure compensating
valve.
In the same manner as for single remote valve

operation the differential pressure across the
manually adjusted flow control restriction (3) is
sensed by the flow compensating spool.
Because each remote valve is operating at a

different pressures the flow control valve spools
will move to different positions to achieve a state of
equilibrium.
The flow across the metering land (4) of the lower

pressure operating remote valve will be different to
the flow across the metering land of the higher
operating pressure remote valve.
The metering land on each flow control spool now

maintains the required constant flow through the
manually adjusted flow control restriction in each
remote valve irrespective of the higher pump
system pressure required to operate other
hydraulic circuits.

OPERATION
ELECTRO–HYDRAULIC TYPE REMOTES
Electro–Hydraulic type remote valves are optional on
the 175 and 190 model tractors.
Each remote valve has its own built in
micro–processor which controls the oil flow through
a solenoid activated valve, based on inputs received
from the operator controlled switches.
Each remote valve is connected into the electrical
CAN BUS system to the XCM processor, located
under the Electronic Draft Control panel in the right
hand console. Each remote valve can also detect
system faults and send a message to the XCM
processor which in turn sends a signal to allow a fault 20
code to be displayed on the instrument cluster.
A list of fault codes can be found at the beginning of
this Chapter. The fault finding flow charts can be
found in Section 4009, Electrical Systems.
Control Levers
The electro-hydraulic remote valves are operated by

finger controlled levers in the right-hand console.
Each control lever is coloured to correspond to the
colour on the remote valve. A maximum of four
electro–hydraulic remote valves may be fitted.
1. Control lever I Green

2. Control lever II Blue
21
3. Control lever III Brown
2
4. Control lever IIII Black
The remote valve control levers have four positions: 1

neutral, extend, retract, and float.
Pull the lever back from the neutral position, (1), to 3

the “extend” (raise) position, (2). From neutral, push
forward to the “retract” (lower) position, (3). Push the
lever fully forward to the float position, (4). Float will 4
permit the cylinder to extend or retract allowing
equipment such as scraper blades to “float” or follow
the ground contour.
22
6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
The “float” position is also used for retracting a

single-acting cylinder and for the OFF position for
hydraulic motors.
The extend, (1), neutral, (2), retract, (3), and float,

(4), positions are identified by symbols on the decal
behind each control lever.
23
Isolator Switch
The remote valves will not operate unless the system
is energised using the isolator switch (1). Press and
release the switch to activate the system, press
again to de–activate. Once energised, the remote
valves will operate whenever the tractor engine is
running.
IMPORTANT: The isolator switch may be used to

immediately stop operation of the rear remote
hydraulics by quickly depressing the switch. The
isolator switch only controls the remote valves and
has no effect on three point linkage operation.
24
6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
Manual and Programmable Lever Operation
The rocker switch (1) is used to select either manual

or programmed operation for each of the
electro–hydraulic remote control valves.
WARNING
Electro–hydraulic valves use detented levers that do
not return to the neutral position when released.
Therefore it is not recommended these valves be
used to operate hydraulic cylinders or similar
equipment that require frequent changes in oil flow
direction.
NOTE: Should the operating lever (2) become out of

phase with the remote valve, follow the procedure
shown on page 34, to re–synchronise lever and
valve.
Manual Operation
Manual operation is provided primarily for the

operation of continuous flow applications, such as
hydraulic motors. To operate the remote valves in
manual mode ensure the timer switch (1) is in the off
position as shown. In manual mode, the control lever
(2) can be operated in the four positions, neutral,
extend, retract and float.
When the control switch is left in the extend, retract

or float positions the control lever WILL NOT
automatically return to the neutral position and shut
off the flow of oil to the rear remotes if the system
reaches maximum pressure. The control lever must 25

Programmable Operation
Programmable operation is provided primarily for

operation of hydraulic cylinders. This feature allows
the operator to programme a time delay between
when the control levers are activated and when they
will automatically return to neutral.
To operate the remote electro-hydraulic valves in

programmed mode, depress the bottom of rocker
switch (1) as shown. When the bottom of the switch
is depressed, the light in the switch will begin to flash.
This is an indication to the operator that a timed
sequence must be programmed into the
26
electro-hydraulic controller. The light will continue to
flash for ten seconds allowing the operator time to
begin the programming sequence. If a programme is
not started within this ten second period, the
controller will not accept any sequence and the
remote control lever (2) will not remain latched in
either the extend or retract positions. Switch off the
timer control and switch on again to re–start the timer
sequence.
To programme the remote valves, first ensure the

cylinder hydraulic hoses are properly connected to
the appropriate rear remote valve. Start the tractor
engine and ensure the isolator switch is in the on
position. Set the tractor engine at the normal
operating speed in which the cylinder is to be
operated. This is important as the programming of
the control levers is based on a time interval
corresponding to the time it takes the cylinder rod to
extend and retract. Any change in engine rpm will
have an effect on hydraulic flow and therefore the
time taken for the cylinder to extend and retract.
The control lever timed programme always remains

the same regardless of oil flow until reprogrammed.
Therefore consistent operation is required for the
system to operate correctly. Using the corresponding
programming switch (1) depress the bottom of the
switch so the light begins to flash. While the light is
flashing use control lever (2) to extend the cylinder.
As soon as the control lever is activated the
programming light will stay on. Hold the lever until the
cylinder is extended to the desired position and then
return the lever to the neutral position. When the
lever is returned to the neutral position the
programming light will once again begin to flash
indicating that the retract phase of the cycle needs to
be programmed.
6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
Next, use control lever (2) to retract the cylinder. As

soon as the control lever is activated the
programming light will cease to flash and remain on.
Hold the lever until the cylinder is retracted to the
desired position and then return the lever to the
neutral position. After the second phase has been
completed the programming light will go out
indicating that the programming has been
memorised.
The control lever timed operation is now pro-

grammed for the extend and retract operation of the
cylinder.
Repeat the above sequence to programme the 27

remaining control levers.
Programming of the control lever can be performed

in either sequence, extend/retract, retract/extend or
one sequence only, extend or retract. The
programme for the individual control lever (2) will
remain the same even when the engine is stopped
and the ignition switch is in the off position, as long
as the programming switch (1) remains in the
programme position as shown. The maximum
allowable time limit for any programmed timed
operation is 30 seconds.
When operating in the timed programmed mode,

feathering of the hydraulic flow is possible by moving
the control lever to any position between neutral and
the fully opened position. The timed operation
sequence only beings once the control lever has
been locked in the fully opened position.
If the control lever is moved to the float position no

timed programme is possible and the control lever
must be returned to neutral manually.
Flow Control Adjustment
Each remote valve has a flow control knob, (1), to

meter oil flow. The knob controls flow from 0.4 to 100
l/min (0.1 to 26.4 U.S. gpm). Turn the knob so the
higher vertical decal stripe, (2), is visible to increase
the rate of oil flow. Turn the knob so the lower vertical
decal stripe, (3), is visible to decrease the rate of oil
flow.
NOTE: The oil flow through remote valve number

one will always take priority over the other valves. For
equipment using of more than one remote valve, the
hydraulic service with the highest flow requirement
should be connected to valve number one. 28
6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
QUICK COUPLERS
Each remote control valve has a pair of 1/2 in.

quick-disconnect, female couplers (1) and (2). The
couplers are of a self–sealing/locking design but will
allow remote cylinder hoses to pull free if the
implement should become disconnected from the
tractor. The lower coupler (2) of each pair is for the
feed hose, the upper coupler (1) is for the return
hose. The couplers referred to in this picture are for
remote control valve No. I.
The covers are color coded grey, brown, blue, green
to correspond to the control levers in the cab console.
29
Hinged, spring-loaded dust caps are provided on

each coupler. To connect a remote cylinder, lift the
dust cap (1) and insert the feed and/or return hose
into the coupler, ensuring that it is correctly seated.
Ensure that there is sufficient slack in the hose(s) to
allow the tractor/implement to turn in either direction.
Actuate the remote valve to supply hydraulic

pressure which will complete the hydraulic coupling
of the tractor and implement.
To disconnect, grip the hose a short distance from

the coupler, push the hose forward, into the coupler,
then quickly pull on the hose to ‘pop’ the coupler free
30
The couplers will accept standard 1/2″ SAE or ISO
connectors. The couplers can be connected or
disconnected under pressure. Disconnect pressure
is proportional to system pressure. Increased
system pressure will require increased force to
disconnect the couplers.

CONNECTING SINGLE-ACTING CYLINDERS

2
Connect the hose from a single-acting cylinder to the
lower coupler on the remote control valve, as 1
previously described.
To extend a single-acting cylinder, pull the control 3

lever back to the “extend” position (2).
Manually return the lever to the neutral position to 4

stop the cylinder before it is fully extended or allow
the valve to return to neutral automatically when the
cylinder reaches the end of its stroke and timed
operation.
31
To retract a single-acting cylinder, move the lever
fully forward to the “float” position (4).
NOTE: In single acting timer mode the remote lever

will not lock in the retract position (3) but will
automatically return to the neutral position.
IMPORTANT: Always use the “float” position to

lower a single-acting cylinder. The “retract” position
is for double-acting cylinders only.
CONNECTING DOUBLE-ACTING CYLINDERS
Connect the feed hose from a double-acting cylinder

to the lower coupler on the remote control valve and
the return hose to the upper coupler, as previously
described. To extend a double-acting cylinder, pull
the control lever back to the “extend” position (2).
To retract a double-acting cylinder, push the control

lever forward past neutral to the “retract” position (3).
Further forward movement of the lever will select
“float” (4) which will allow the cylinder to extend or
retract freely. This feature is very helpful when
carrying out work with equipment such as scraper
blades and loaders.
6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
OPERATING CONTINUOUS FLOW HYDRAULIC

2
EQUIPMENT
Continuous flow hydraulic equipment (e.g., hydraulic 1

motors) should be connected to the 1st remote
control valve couplers with the pressure hose
connected to the right retract coupler and the return 3
hose connected to the low pressure return circuit.
4
The flow control should be adjusted to regulate the
motor speed. If the flow control is open too far, the
3-point hitch and other remote valves will slow down
or stop. Using the flow control this way will ensure
that the hydraulic system will only supply the oil 32
required by the motor.
With the remote control valve lever fully forward in

the “float” (4) position, the motor will be stationary.
The hydraulic motor will operate if the lever is pulled
back to the “retract” (3) position. To stop the motor,
move the lever from the retract position to the float
position. In the float position the motor will be able to
stop slowly, which will not damage the motor.
IMPORTANT: When operating continuous flow

equipment, the remote control valve lever must not
be moved rearward to the neutral or raise positions
as damage to the equipment may result.
Observe the following to further protect the tractor

and equipment.
• Do not open any bypass valve in the equipment

or motor. Use the flow control to regulate the rate
of flow or speed of the motor.
• Do not hold the remote control valve lever to
operate the equipment.
• To ensure optimum hydraulic oil cooling, operate
continuous flow equipment at the highest flow
setting (by use of the flow control) and lowest
engine speed that will give the required machine
performance and speed.
6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
OPERATING SEVERAL REMOTE VALVES

SIMULTANEOUSLY OR REMOTE VALVES AND
HYDRAULIC LIFT SIMULTANEOUSLY
If operating two or more remote control valves

simultaneously or remote valves and the hydraulic
lift, all the flow control valves (1), should be adjusted
to provide a partial flow, as previously described. If
not so adjusted, all the available flow may be directed
to the full flow circuit when the pressure in that circuit
is less than that of the other circuits in use.
NOTE: The oil flow through remote valve number

one will always take priority over the other valves. For 33
equipment using of more than one remote valve, the
hydraulic service with the highest flow requirement
should be connected to valve number one.
BLEEDING REMOTE CYLINDERS
When connecting a cylinder with trapped air, i.e., a

new cylinder, one that has been out of service or one
that has had the hoses disconnected, it will be
necessary to bleed the cylinder to remove the air.
With the hoses connected to the remote control valve

couplers at the rear of the tractor, position the
cylinder with the hose end uppermost and extend
and retract the cylinder seven or eight times using the
remote control valve operating lever.
Check the rear axle oil level before and after

operating a remote cylinder.
6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
RE–CALIBRATING ELECTRONIC REMOTE

VALVE LEVERS
Should one of the control levers lose synchronisation
with the remote valve itself, an error code will appear
in lower central area of the instrument panel display.
The code displayed will show R1 (or R2, R3 or R4)
identifying the valve requiring re–calibration. To
re–synchronise lever and valve, carry out the
following procedure.
NOTE: The appearance of any other number

following the letter ’R’ will require the use of
specialised equipment to investigate. Consult your
authorised dealer. 34
With the tractor engine stopped and the implement
in a safe position, turn the key start to position (4) and
depress the timer switch (1) Figure 36, on the valve
to be re–calibrated. The timer light on the switch will
illuminate and the figure 1 will replace the error code
in the instrument panel display.
After a short delay the light will extinguish and a

figure 2 will appear in the instrument display.
Set the flow control (3) Figure 36, to the maximum

OPERATION OF TWO OR MORE

CONTROL VALVES SIMULTANEOUSLY
Because the stack type remote valves have a
common parallel input gallery and individual flow
control valves it is possible to operate two or more 1
remotes simultaneously without loss of efficiency. 5 5
This is achieved by the flow control spools which
regulate flow through each remote valve 2
irrespective of pump system pressure.
3 4 3 4
If these valves were not fitted and two remotes
were operating simultaneously at different
pressures all oil would attempt to flow to the light
load circuit.
The following details the process of operating a

single remote valve and then operating an
additional remote valve at the same time.
When a single service is operated the pressure in

the parallel gallery is at pump pressure.
The pressure in the load sense line to the hydraulic

pump is equal to the operating pressure of the
working remote valve.
Required flow through the electro–hydraulic A B

remote valve is set by turning the operator
controlled potentiometer in the cab. The flow is
then determined by the control valve spool which
is electrically controlled by the control unit
solenoid.

In the same manner as for single remote valve

operation the differential pressure across the flow

accordingly.
Because each remote valve is operating at a

different pressure the flow control valve spools will
move to different positions to achieve a state of

EHR Valve number programming

Each electro hydraulic remote valve has its own built
in processor. The processor stores in its memory the
valves number within the remote stack, ie, whether it
is valve No.1,2 ,3 ,4 or 5. If it becomes necessary to
replace a valve assembly then it becomes necessary
to reprogram the number of each valve within the
complete valve assembly. Valve assemblies are
supplied from parts with no number assigned. To
reprogram the valve number sequence use the
following procedure:
76
1. With all the remote valves connected to the har-
ness, install diagnostic test switch, tool No.
380000488. Turn the Key Start switch ON and
select H–menu Mode HL.
77
2. Operate the No.1 EHR Valve timer switch 3 times
in quick succession to activate the procedure.
3. The number 3 will be displayed followed by 2, 1
and then END. This will have erased the memory
from each valve assembly.
4. Turn the Key start switch OFF.
78
5. Disconnect the connectors from each remote
valve.
79
6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
6. Turn the Key Start switch ON and select H Menu

mode HL.
7. Reconnect each valve in the correct order, ie,
No.1 on the right hand end as viewed from
behind the tractor. As each valve is connected
wait for that valve to be recognised by the control
module, this is highlighted by an audible beep as-
well as the valve number being displayed on the
instrument cluster. It will take approximately 10
seconds for each valve to be recognised.
80
8. When the last valve has been recognised pulse
the No.1 EHR Valve timer switch 3 times in quick
succession.
9. The number 3 will be displayed followed by 2, 1
and then END. This will signify the end of the pro-
cedure.
81
10. Turn the key start switch OFF to store the pro-
gramming.
NOTE: After the installation of a new or repaired
valve it will be necessary to recalibrate the control
lever. Refer to ’recalibrating the control levers’
detailed earlier in this Chapter.
