Gc2610 BH valve

[liberty2701]

I just dug a trench with my bh and something did not seem right. In order to make a flat bottom trench you need to pull on the right lever and then pull the left lever to get the two actions for a flat bottom. It seems that the right lever overrides the left lever when i pull them, even if the left is pulled first. Should both levers be able to operate together? If I feather on and off the right lever it seems to give me the control I think I am supposed to have. It has been 5 months since I used the BH so I do not recall. Not sure if this is a problem. Thanks

I see alot of views but no replies. I think my post is a little confusing. My question in more simple terms is that should the right lever override the left lever during back hoe operation? I thought they should operate together.

You should be able to pull both levers, an flat bottom out. I have no trouble with my wallenstein hoe.

No, one lever should not always override the other. What you describe sounds odd.

But, there can be operational limits, due to the amount of fluid available. And, perhaps it is just your unfamiliarity with the unit.

FLuid flow should not be a problem because If I am operating with no load and I pull the left lever first and then the right, the left lever function stops and the right lever function continues to go. I am running Amsoil fluid by the way. I guess I have a problem?

Based on my understanding of what your saying, it does not appear to be working as it should. Perhaps something is not connected properly?

Amsoil ATH fluid should not be a factor, about half of us are using it.

All connections are the same as they always been. They are also color coded. I know you said it does not appear to be right. Could you double check your machine before I drive 1 1/2 hrs to the dealer. I would greatly appreciate it. Let me clarify exactly what it does. If i am raising the boom with the left lever and then pull the right lever to retract the bucket the boom will stop raising, hence the right lever overides the left. Does not matter the rpm.

If the valves are in parallel the one with the lowest or least load will move first so what your describing would be possible.

That is normal. I checked it for you, and mine did exactly the same thing.

You will also notice similar limits in the FEL.

When you get used to operating the unit, you will be able to use it smoothly without even noticing this.
