Position control 3pt feedback rod

[jericho]

I did the adjustment as specified in the book.
Turned the turnbuckle, to shorten, until the relief valve began to be operated and then lengthened it by 1-1/2 turns.
Then when I ran it down and up and stopped the engine I did not get the .2-.79" free play.

The feedback rod ended up a lot shorter than it was from the factory setting that I first found it at.

My take on the function of this feedback rod is that it is supposed to relieve the hydraulic pressure before the lift arms hit their top travel.

Is this correct?

The feed back rod, turns the valve on and off in relation to the position of the three point control, so yes part of it's operation is to shut off the valve on both the upper and lower limits, but it does more than just that.
