Single-action hydro on 300U hitch

Looks like my post didn't make it the first time. At least I hope this isn't a duplicate.

I thought it might be better/easier on the implements to not to place down force on the
bush hog or snow blade on the 300U. I'm using
the 3-point adapter prongs in the Fast Hitch
sockets.

The operators manual says to turn the control on the valve from 'D' to 'S' to achieve no down-force. I did so.

I had assumed that this would cause the implement to come down by gravity when I pushed the lever towards 'down.' However, it doesn't come down at all.

Did I miss something?

Do I need to disconnect a hose?

Am I wrong in believing it's better to skip the down-force and let the bush-hog 'float' a bit when the back wheels go into a low spot?
