5. Setting the continuously variable
transmission (CVT) response
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• While the trailer is running, the ez-command
centre cannot be used for a sudden slow-down.
For a sudden slow-down, step on the brake
pedal.
1. Touch the CVT response setting graph, and the
slider in the graph moves to the touched point.
Then using the
“+” or “-” switch, finely adjust the
setting.
2. Slide the graph farther to the right to enable more
responsive rev up and slow down.
Generally speaking, when the working efficiency is
enhanced in light duty jobs, increase the response
sensitivity.
For heavy-duty jobs with a trailer or on grassland,
decrease the response sensitivity.

• Details regarding relevant settings can be
found in a different section.
(See Setting the engine and power shift
transmission (Premium model only) on page

6. Cruise control
The travelling speed may be flexibly pre-set with the
ez-command centre.
To keep the travelling speed at a constant level,
however, make the cruise control setting.
The cruise control can be pre-set in 4 different
conditions for high range speed and low range speed
as well as for forward and reverse respectively. The
respective pre-set speed value is memorised when the
cruise control is activated once. Thus, the set speed is
not memorised if there is no record for cruise activating.
Set the cruise control to
“ON” , and “CRUISE” and
“Cruise pre-set speeds” appear in the LCD indicator on
the instrument panel.
6.1 Setting the cruise control
To set cruise control, use either of the following
procedures:
Setting with the ez-command centre
1. Push the ez-command centre forward until a
desired travelling speed is reached.
2. Hold down the cruise button (for 3 seconds), and
the cruise control is enabled. The current speed is
recorded as cruise speed, and the machine runs at
this speed.
3. When moving the ez-command centre forward or
backward while the cruise control is enabled, the
setting speed can be changed. The lowest possible
speed change is 0.04 km/h (0.02 mph).
(1) Ez-command centre
(2) Cruise button (A) “PUSH”
Calling the memory speed
A single touch on the cruise button while in motion
makes the machine run at the previously set cruise
speed.
Hold down the cruise button, and the current speed is
recorded as cruise speed.
Setting the travelling speed with the foot throttle
1. Step on the foot throttle until a desired travelling
speed is reached.
2. Hold down the cruise button (for 3 seconds), and
the cruise control is enabled. The current speed is
recorded as cruise speed. The machine runs at this
speed.
