Positions 6 to L
Use these positions when traveling on soft ground or places where it is difficult to travel at high speed, when
starting on slope with the machine loaded, or when traveling downhill with engine brake.
The transmission is fixed to the 1st speed and is not changed while the dump body is raised. Keep the dump
body lowered during travel.
Position R
This is used when traveling in reverse.
The transmission is fixed at the reverse 1 st speed when it is in the position R.
REMARK
If the dump body is not completely lowered, the gear speed is fixed at 1st anywhere the gear shift lever position
is in D to L. (This conforms to EU safety standard (EN474-6 5.1.3).
The reverse travel is not available when the gear shift lever is in the position R and the gear speed is fixed at
NEUTRAL.

The machine moves off at 2nd speed or 1st speed when the gear shift lever is set to the position D.
Do not set the gear shift lever to NEUTRAL position (N) during the travel.
Before performing the directional selection, stop the machine completely and run the engine at low idle.
When starting the engine, if the gear shift lever is in any position other than NEUTRAL (N), the engine will not
start.
When the starting switch is turned from OFF position to ON position, if the gear shift lever is in any position
other than NEUTRAL (N), the shift lever position display flashes, the centralized warning lamp lights up, and the
alarm buzzer sounds. If the gear shift lever is turned to NEUTRAL position (N), the lamps will go out and the
buzzer will stop sounding.
When the parking brake is applied, if the gear shift lever is in any position other than NEUTRAL (N), the central-
ized warning lamp will light up and the alarm buzzer will sound.
If the gear shift lever is set to any position other than NEUTRAL (N) when the dump lever is at a position other
than “FLOAT” or the dump body is still raised, the centralized warning lamp will light up and the alarm buzzer
will sound.
Always place the gear shift lever securely in position when operating it.
If the gear shift lever is not placed securely in position, the shift lever position pilot lamp on the machine monitor
may start flashing and the centralized warning lamp may light up, and the alarm buzzer may sound.
