Aux/swing arm hydrolics kx71-2 anyone know?

[muddyone]

Hi All,
So I have replaced the hoses on my kx71-2. And have hit a small conundrum. The right foot pedal controls the auxiliary hoses, the right foot via a servo controls the speed, I have traved the swing ram and it appears to be controlled by an electric servo to but i can't find any control for it... Any ideas???

change over button - with a diverter valve and operated by the slew control on the stick ???

On my dash 2. 1.5t its a button on the left hand stick. Crap idea, bettet on a pedal

That certainly describes it.. But simply can't find a button or a hole where one should be.. There could be a missing button on top of the right hand joystick.... But can't see a corresponding wire sticking our the bottom near the universal joint... Left hand stick has no button..

Cheers but no button on left stick

The KX71 s are all controlled by a rod from the petal to the main control block. It's possible that some one has fitting a diverter valve to the offset ram for a second set of aux lines... we have done this before.

Have you got some pictures?

I'd say that was a button once


odd looking valve that

My 161-2 has a button on left hand joystick to switch between slew and offset- dreadful system as the rhythm is completely lost but there we go.

Although that looks like the right hand joystick which is most likely the Horn:

That is the right hand stick

So it's all piped correctly.. See above for swivle swing change valve.. Now where is the damn button??

need to check the electrical connections have power / continuity if you can trace them back ??? ...... curious looking 6 x 2 changeover with two solenoids though ... if the valve is faulty, could always replace it with a more conventional 6 x 2 (possibly)

Have a look under the left hand arm rest for the cable. It should be a button on the top of the left hand joystick. So far you've added a picture of the right hand control not the left. Our 121-2 had the left stick cover removed and the switch had been moved to a toggle on the left hand control console.

I Didn't know the KX71-2 was set up like this.... I was basing it on a -3... so my post is irrelevant

As others have said, check power to the solenoids etc

I havnt added a pic of the left as it does not have a button - happy to add a picture of nothing

Although we think it may be a separate button on the left console.. Watch this space
