OPERATING THE TRACTOR
A
While the DHC switch is at "ON", the hydraulic clutch
behaves quicker at a speed change. Even working on
a slope, therefore, the push-out of an attachment can
be minimized. (Do not change speeds when doing
heavy-duty traction on a steep slope.)
B
Shuttle Lever
To avoid personal injury:
A
When attempting to shift the shuttle shift lever
on a slope, be sure to completely stop the
tractor.
A
Slow down the engine speed before shifting the
shuttle lever.
A
Use the shuttle lever when the machine speed
is below 11 km/h.
A
Otherwise the clutch gets disengaged and the buzzer
starts sounding.
To get the clutch reengaged and clear the buzzer, take
either of the following steps.
(1) Place the shuttle lever back to the original
position. Decrease the machine speed lower than
11 km/h and use the shuttle lever.
(2) Stop the tractor first and bring the shuttle lever
back to the original position.
Raise up and shift the shuttle shift lever forward to obtain
forward speeds and shift it backward to obtain reverse
speeds without using the clutch pedal.
With the shuttle lever at neutral, press the up-shift/down-
shift button of the power shift / range shift lever, select the
main speed (1st thru 8th speed) and then switch the sub-
speed range. Now the selected main speed is kept on
whether at "L", "M" or "H".
A
While the shuttle shift lever is at the “NEUTRAL”
position, the “N” character appears on the LCD
monitor.
B
Creep Lever (if equipped)
Shift the creep lever at "
" to obtain low speeds with
power shift / range shift lever is selected "L" range.
With the creep lever engaged (ON), the speed range
cannot shift to "M" and "H". (The creep mode does not
operate in the middle-speed and high-speed ranges.)
This shifting requires clutch operation.
C
Creep speed should be used only when doing one
of the following jobs:
1. Deep rotary-tilling and harrowing
2. Planting
3. Turf application
C
Creep speed can not be used for any of the
followings:
1. Pulling a trailer
2. Front-loader operation
3. Front-blade operation
4. Earth-moving
(1) Shuttle lever
(F) "FORWARD"
(N) "NEUTRAL"
(R) "REVERSE"
(N) "NEUTRAL"

(A)
"LOW".....Creep ON
(B) "HIGH".............Creep OFF
