Changing Gear Speed and Direction
Machine must be stopped and engine at low idle before pushing transmission control into REVERSE. Move transmission control with a single, quick motion.
First, second and reverse speeds are converter drive and are selected manually.
Select highest usable speed. Transmission will shift automatically between 2nd and the selected speed.
Never downshift with engine speed above 1800 RPM. Downshift only one speed at a time.
Depress transmission HOLD pedal to keep transmission from upshifting or downshifting. Transmission HOLD may be used when entering a curve or approaching a grade.
|
Improper downshifting can cause sudden reduction in travel speed. |
|
Use hydraulic retarders and/or service brakes to reduce speed before entering sharp turns, fill areas and downgrades.
Do not move transmission control with transmission HOLD applied.
Never coast downgrade. Keep transmission engaged.
