A float switch 37, a float valve 38, and a controller 34 are provided, the float valve 38 is changed over to a float position VI upon operating the float switch 37 when the blade is not in a jack-up state, the float valve 38 is changed over from the float position VI to a normal position V when the float valve 38 is in a state of being at the float position VI and an operation lever device 22 has been operated, and the float valve 38 is kept at the normal position V when the float valve 38 is at the normal position V and the float switch 37 has been operated in the jack-up state.
