OPERATING THE TRACTOR 106
B
Hand Throttle
Pulling the throttle back decreases engine speed, and
pushing it forward increases engine speed.
A
With the rev-limiter control on, the engine speed will
not rev above the limiter-preset rpm even if the hand
throttle is operated.
B
Foot Throttle
Use the foot throttle when traveling on the road. Press
down on it for higher speed. The foot throttle is interlocked
with the hand throttle; when using the foot throttle, keep
the hand throttle in low idling position.
A
With the rev-limiter control on, the engine speed will
not rev above the limiter-preset rpm even if the foot
throttle is operated.
A Let's suppose that the "Automatic mode" is selected
with the CVT type tractor. You can control both the
speed and the engine power by how deeply you step
on the foot throttle, as with an automatic transmission
car.
(For details, refer to "automatic mode" in "CVT
(Continuously Variable Transmission) CONTROL" in
"OPERATING THE TRACTOR" section.)
B
Shuttle Lever
To avoid personal injury or death:
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 20 km/h (12.4 mph).
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.
(2) Decrease the machine speed lower than 20 km/h
(12.4 mph) and use the shuttle lever.
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.
Whether traveling or at a stop, push down the shuttle lever
and it will return to the neutral position.
A
Operate the shuttle lever while sitting in the operator's
seat. Otherwise, the clutch will not be engaged.
A While the shuttle shift lever or shuttle neutral button is
at the "NEUTRAL" position, the "N" character appears
on the LCD monitor.
A When you release the shuttle lever after shifting to F,
R, or N positions, the shuttle lever will always return to
its original position (see figure above).
