Quick couplers

This is a great idea - wouldn’t be too hard to have a switched cetop installation so you could depressurise at the touch of a button too! Luxury!!!

Yes it would work with a an electric valve, depressurise at at flick of a switch. My loadall does this, and I suspect it’s a similar setup?

I usually just turn her off, ign back on - operate the service, with the dead man engaged and that'll drop it off usually .... the att is a different kettle of fish, especially if it's been sat in the sun getting hot

If it’s a persistent problem, then a few tee‘s and a few quarter turn valves, place in the auxiliary lines, and plumbed into a drain line back to tank, would be a quick and easy way to release the pressure, the valves or hose wouldn’t need to be big, and not necessarily installed at the quick coupler, it could be done within the machine very neatly. This would be a no mess way of releasing the pressure.
if the pressure is in the attachment however, then it’s more difficul, but if a simple drain line as above was installed down to the dipper end, then a drain line could also be installed on the attachment, again with quarter turn valves. Bloody lot of faffing around though. Just depends how much of a problem it is and how often.

You’ve just reminded me that I have a case drain circuit. Simples.

Should make it a doddle then
