A position control valve provided for controlling a first hydraulic unit is also operable to control a second hydraulic unit. The apparatus comprises the first hydraulic unit for raising and lowering a primary working implement, the second hydraulic unit for raising and lowering a secondary working implement, the control valve for controlling the first hydraulic unit, and a feedback mechanism for returning the control valve to its neutral position for every position of a control lever in operative relation to the upward or downward movement of the primary working implement. A guide plate for the control lever for operating the control valve provides a second operation range for the secondary working implement having a neutral position corresponding to a maximum lift position for the primary working implement. Elastic regulating means is mounted on the guide plate for the second operation range to set the control lever in position. The control lever is automatically and accurately returnable to the neutral position when operated against the elastic means and thereafter released from the hand.
