Your machine is equipped with a variable shift control. The variable shift control is located on the switch panel. The variable shift control will change the shift points of the transmission. The transmission can be set to shift sooner as the machine is accelerating. The transmission can also be set to shift later as the machine is accelerating.
Rotate the switch clockwise into position (1C). This is the economy mode. The transmission will shift at lower engine rpm.
Place the switch into position (1A). The transmission will shift at a high engine rpm. The transmission will remain in each gear longer before the transmission shifts.
Position (1B) will shift the transmission at moderate engine rpm.
Travel at high speeds over rough terrain causes bucket movement and a swinging motion. The ride control system acts as a shock absorber by dampening forces from the bucket. This helps to stabilize the entire machine.
Note: To load the bucket most efficiently, place the ride control switch in the position for automatic ride control or in the OFF position during the loading cycle. When the ride control switch is in the manual position, the lift circuit is spongy and there are no capabilities for powering down. Failure to move the switch to the recommended position could result in damage to the machine.
Move switch (2) to the middle position in order to turn off the ride control system.
Illustration 3 | g00996168 |
Manual Ride Control - Push the bottom of switch (2) in order to turn on the ride control system. Indicator (2A) will come on when the ride control is activated. |
When the ride control switch is in the manual position, the ride control system will be operational at all times.
Automatic Ride Control - Push the top of switch (2) in order to turn on the automatic ride control. Indicator (2B) will come on when the automatic ride control is activated. |
The ride control system will automatically turn on if the ground speed exceeds
Transmission Neutralizer Override Switch (3)
Transmission Neutralizer - The transmission neutralizer override switch is a two-position switch that is located on the upper right control panel. |
Press the bottom of the switch in order to activate the transmission neutralizer. When the left brake pedal is depressed, the transmission will be disengaged and the service brake will be applied. This will allow the operator to increase engine speed for better hydraulic response.
Press the top of the switch in order to deactivate the transmission neutralizer. The left brake pedal will not disengage the transmission. The left brake pedal will operate as a conventional brake pedal.
Illustration 4 | g00995968 |
Alert indicator (3A) will be activated when the neutralizer function is activated.
The autoshift switch is located on the switch panel. The autoshift switch determines if the transmission will be shifted manually or if the transmission will be shifted automatically.

Machines that are equipped with command control steering (4A) Manual (4B) Automatic shifts between fourth speed and second speed (4C) Automatic shifts between third speed and second speed (4D) Second speed (4E) Automatic shifts between fourth speed and first speed |
Illustration 6 | g00995973 |
Machines that are equipped with conventional steering (4A) Manual (4F) Automatic shifts between fourth speed and second (4G) Automatic shifts between fourth speed and first speed |
Move the autoshift control into the manual position (4A). The transmission speed selector must be moved manually in order to change transmission speeds.
The transmission can be shifted automatically. Place the selector switch into one of the automatic positions. Machines that are equipped with conventional steering have two choices of automatic operation. Machines that are equipped with command control steering have four modes of automatic operation. The transmission will shift between the speeds that are selected with the switch. The transmission will not upshift past the highest selected gear. The transmission will not downshift into first speed unless the downshift switch is pressed or unless the downshift switch is placed into the "1-4" position. The downshift will not occur if the engine will overspeed.
Illustration 7 | g00995978 |
Machines that are equipped with pilot operated bucket controls are equipped with a downshift switch (4H) that is located on the lift lever. Pressing switch (4H) will downshift the transmission by one speed. The transmission will only downshift if an engine overspeed will not occur. Holding switch (4H) will downshift the transmission as the machine speed decreases. Machines that are equipped with electro-hydraulic bucket controls use the speed selector switch that is located on the left side of the steering wheel in order to downshift the transmission.
The machine can also be downshifted by using the left service brake pedal.
Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Operator Controls".
For example, place the selector switch into the "2-3" position. The machine will automatically shift between second speed and third speed. The transmission will not shift into first speed unless switch (4H) is pressed. The transmission will shift into first speed only when the engine will not overspeed.
This switch is normally used to downshift from second speed to first speed while you are loading a bucket. The transmission will remain in the downshifted gear for three seconds after the switch is released. Then, automatic shifting will resume again.
Front Window Wiper and Washer (5)
Front Window Wiper and Washer (5) - Turn the knob clockwise in order to turn on the window wiper. Push the knob in order to activate the window washer. Spring force will return the knob after use. |
Note: For machines that have intermittent front wipers, there are several positions that will affect the wipers.
Turn knob (5) in a clockwise direction. The following settings may be selected: OFF position, LONG DELAY position, INTERMITTENT DELAY position, SHORT DELAY position, LOW position and HIGH position.
