Does anyone know how to manually lower the loader arm on an ASV RC-100?

If the loader arm is raised when the machine is turned off, you can’t restart the machine because the startup sequence requires the loader arm to be down before cranking.

I have scoured the internet but cannot find this info. Thanks to anyone who can help!

I had same problem with a CAT tracked skid steer. I turned the key to “on” and wiggled the pilot controls on the loader and it slowly worked its way down.

I had a CAT skid steer on a steep hill, mulching a tree with the loader up about 8’ high. The motor stalled and the loader was blocking the door! Turns out the bank was steep enough to make the fuel pump suck air. I was stuck in the cab. Door blocked, 7pm and no help anywhere nearby.
Couldnt figure out what to do, so I turned the key on, wiggled the joy stick and the loader came down about 1” per wiggle.
