SECTION 2 - OPERATION

Gear Shifting within a Range
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that shifting on
the fly be limited to light draft or rolling loads and
only within a gear range.
Do not attempt to shift
between ranges without first coming to a
complete stop.
1. Depress the clutch pedal fully.
2. Move the gearshift lever, 1, to the proper gear.
Shift pattern decals, 2, are located below the
shift lever indicating gear position and a
speed chart decal is located on the right
window of the cab.
NOTE: It is not necessary to reduce engine
speed for shifts within a range, but is
recommended to increase the life of shift
components.
3. Release the clutch pedal slowly to insure a
smooth transmission engagement.
NOTE: While it is possible to shift on the
fly within a range, under heavy loads the
tractor will probably come to an abrupt
stop before the shift is complete. For your
safety, it is recommended that the
operator
throttle
down,
raise
any
implements, and stop before attempting
any shifts.

The gearshift decal located behind the
gearshift lever displays the gearshift lever
position during operation (1 - 2 - 3 - 4).
Forward/Reverse Shifting
Shuttle shifting should not be attempted between
the forward and reverse ranges while the tractor
is still moving. Harsh transmission engagement
will occur as well as damage to the range shift
mechanisms in the transmission.
1. Bring the tractor to a complete stop before
shifting the range lever.
2. Select the range desired.
3. Release the clutch pedal slowly to achieve a
smooth start.
