3215 quick dump

[MrChris]

After owning my 3215 HST almost two years now, I'm almost embaressed to admit I recently found it has a quick dump feature with the FEL. The diagrams are right there on the FEL. I always new that if you pushed the joystick control all the way forward you can get the bucket to float. But the other day I noticed the diagram showing that if you push your joystick farther to the right, you get a faster dump speed. The only note I have on this is that the diagram is misleading. I actually get the fast dump mode when I push the joystick slightly to the right. It slows if you push it farther to the right. Was wondering if this is the case with other 3215 owners?

I'll have to check mine this weekend, first that I've heard of this.

I just checked my 2815. seems to have a slow/fast/slow dump lever

While the bucket is loaded push the loader joystick all the way to the right untill it stops...
Then you will notice how the fast dump really works

Here's a photo of the quick dump label on the FEL.

My 2525 has the exact same diagram.

Can't seem to get it to work like Wallace suggested or as the label shows, pushing all the way to the right. It seems to operate like khamil says-slow,fast,slow as you push the joystick farther to the right.

I wonder if there is some sort of linkage adjustment. Mine also seems to stick sometimes on the dump and retract positions

It's like getting a new machine when you find new features isn't

The feature is actually called "regen" or "regenerative". You can read more about it HERE if you would like

The bucket needs to be loaded for the regen feature to work properly, Click the link I posted above.
