I've a 2007 3cx sitemaster. It has a self levelling / 'return to dig' function for the front bucket. When the front bucket is emptied, You pull the loader lever towards the seat. It should stay there till the bucket returns to level and should then cut out. There is a switch on the dashboard to turn this function on or off, connected to a sensor/indicator light at the level indicator rod on the right loader arm.

My previous '98 and '87 3cx's had this too (minus the dash switch) and worked fine. On this one when I pull the loader lever towards the seat to bring the bucket back up to level, it wont hold in the position against the seat as it should (according to the manual).

If I hold the lever against the seat with just my finger on top of the lever, it will pop back to the neutral position when the bucket comes back up to level.

Is this something mechanical under the loader lever that just needs to be adjusted to give it that bit more hold till it should cut out. Anyone have any experience of this ??? . I'd love to get it sorted in particular to save wear on my sheargrab tine tips. Thanks in advance,
C.I.
