Question on B3200 (or B3300SU) TPH lever position with backhoe

[Teikas Dad]

When I got my tractor the TPH lever was held in position by an L shaped metal plate and knob/bolt. It looked like it was in roughly the neutral position on the fender. The manual states that when the backhoe is attached the TPH lever must be in the down position to avoid damage to the valve.

For those of you who have a B3200 or B3300 SU with a Kubota backhoe, is the lever in the photo in the correct position or should it be farther towards the down position? (Photo courtesy of ChuckinNH post on the the 1/4 inching valve)

Rotate the plate to where the hook is around the lever, then push the lever and plate all the way to the bottom of the slot and then lock the plate in place with the black plastic nut while holding the lever.

Thanks. It was delivered in about the neutral position so I wasn't sure how far it was supposed to go down. I moved the hoe around a little bit, hopefully it didn't damage the valve from not being all the way in the down position.

Appreciate the info.
