Operation
Urge to Move
•
Urge to Move allows the vehicle to automatically start moving when
the transmission is in gear and the driver releases the service brake.
After the vehicle has launched the vehicle will creep at a constant
speed at engine idle without the need to hold the throttle pedal posi-
tion. The configuration is useful for stop and go applications allowing
the vehicle to launch and creep without applying the accelerator.
•
The vehicle speed is determined by the selected gear ratio operating
at governed low engine idle speed. Any available start gear may be
selected. However, the transmission will downshift or exit Creep if
the engine lugs 150 rpm below the governed low engine idle speed
due to load conditions.
-
When a gear is engaged and the driver releases the service
brake; the clutch will close automatically providing vehicle
movement.
-
The clutch will remain closed; allowing the vehicle to creep at
constant engine idle after the service brake is released.
-
The clutch will also open if the engine lugs 150 rpm below the
governed low engine idle speed.
Launching:
1.
Engage the desired gear.
2.
Release service brake (vehicle will automatically launch and creep at
constant engine idle).
•
Upshifts and Downshifts can be made while at constant engine
idle by pushing the Upshift / Downshift buttons. The transmis-
sion may deny a shift and sound a tone if the load of the vehicle
or grade of the terrain falls outside the acceptable range to per-
form a shift.
3.
Apply accelerator to accelerate the vehicle above idle.
Stopping:
1.
Release the accelerator (vehicle will creep at constant engine idle).
•
Upshifts and Downshifts can be made while at constant engine
idle by pushing the Upshift / Downshift buttons.
2.
Apply service brake.
