Patent ID: 6951067

Claim:
A method of rotating an implement relative to a work machine, the work machine comprising an implement rotatable in at least first and second opposing directions, a mechanical stop mounted to the work machine which contacts the implement when the implement has rotated in the first direction to a first angular position, a hydraulic fluid cylinder mounted between the implement and the work machine for rotating the implement, and a valve for supplying hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic fluid cylinder, the method comprising: receiving an operator input commanding rotation of the implement; producing a valve signal responsive to the operator input; receiving the valve signal and opening the valve responsive thereto to supply hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic fluid cylinder; rotating the implement in the first direction under the force of the hydraulic fluid to an angular position beyond the first angular position; and overriding an operator input commanding continued rotation of the implement in the first direction by producing a valve signal to close the valve and stop the rotation of the implement.
