- 22 SANY SY 50U, '10 Kioti DK 40se/hst KL-401 FEL, loaded tires, KB-2485 bhoe, Tuffline TB160 BB, Woods QA forks, MIE Hydraulic bhoe thumb & ripper tooth, Igland 4001 winch, & GR-20 Log Grapple. Woods BBX72" Brush Mower. Diamondplate aluminum canopy
My brand new CK4020's QA handles won't stay in the up position (released). when approaching whatever attachment with the QA unlocked; movement and vibration cause either, or both handles to fall inward toward the locked position enough that I have to reset them upright. The left QA handle will not stay upright and falls. the right handle usually falls too.
I've tried tightening the nuts that tighten the spring on both 17mm(?) nuts that hold the handles snug?
Am I missing something?
The other problem is when the handles are straight up they make it near impossible to get the QA feet to engage under the lip of any implement, bucket, grapple, etc. The handles have become tangled and bent by my pallet forks backboard, which has square holes for viewing the forks when driving.
I'm used to the old single lever mid mounted lever/handle of my DK-40. Are the newer type 2 handle/lever design possibly meant to fall inward while engaging the implement, then one brings them up to allow the pins to position and then lock in place? That seems counterintuitive, but I'm sort a grasping for straws here?
Any help would be appreciated - I'm thinking I must be missing something obvious? Anyone else had this happen to them
TIA,
CM
