GEAR SHIFT LEVER
Select the gear shift range with the gear shift lever according to
the travel conditions.
.
Position D
This is used for the normal travel.
When position D is used, the transmission is set automatically
between 2nd or 1st torque converter drive and 6th gear accord-
ing to the travel speed.
Transmission is fixed to 2nd or 1st speed and is not changed
while the dump body is raised. Keep the dump body lowered
during the travel.
The maximum travel speed in position D is 55.9 km/h.
Positions 5 to 1
Use these positions when traveling on soft ground or places where it is difficult to travel at high speed, when
starting uphill with the machine loaded, or when traveling downhill with engine brake.
Transmission is fixed to the 1st speed and is not changed while the dump body is raised.
Keep the dump body lowered during the travel.
Position R1
This is used when traveling in reverse.
Transmission is fixed in reverse 1st and the travel is performed in torque converter drive or direct drive accord-
ing to the travel speed while position R1 is used.
The maximum travel speed in position R1 is 6.8 km/h.
Position R2
This is used when traveling in reverse.
Transmission is fixed in reverse 2nd and the travel is performed in torque converter drive or direct drive accord-
ing to the travel speed while position R2 is used.
The maximum travel speed in position R2 is 16.0 km/h.
The machine cannot travel in reverse while the dump body is raised.
Lower the dump body, set the dump lever to “FLOAT”, then operate the gear shift lever to R1 or R2.
REMARK
If driving the machine with the dump body not seated, the speed range is fixed at 2nd or 1st in D position, and
transmission can not be shifted. In position 5 to 1, the speed range is fixed at 1st position, and transmission can
not be shifted. (This conforms to EU safety standard (EN474-6 5.1.3).
