OPERATING THE TRACTOR 126
B
Cruise Control
The traveling speed may be flexibly preset with the ez-
command center. To keep the traveling speed at a
constant level, however, make the cruise control setting.
The cruise control can be preset in 4 different conditions
for high range speed and low range speed as well as for
forward and reverse respectively. The respective preset
speed value is memorized when the cruise control is
activated once. Thus, the set speed is not memorized if
there is no record for cruise activating.
Set the cruise control to "ON", and "CRUISE" and "Cruise
preset speeds" appear in the LCD indicator on the
instrument panel.
C
Setting the cruise control
To set cruise control, use either of the following
procedures.
A
Setting with the ez-command center
1. Push the ez-command center forward until a desired
traveling 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 center 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).
A
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.
A
Setting the traveling speed with the foot throttle
1. Step on the foot throttle until a desired traveling 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.
C
Clearing the cruise control
The cruise control can be cleared in any of the following
actions.
1. Step fully on both the brake pedals.
2. Press the cruise button.
3. Set the shuttle lever to neutral.
4. Step on one brake pedal with more than 14 km/h (8.7
mph) traveling speed.
A The memory value will not be deleted whichever
method you use to clear cruise control. Even if you turn
the key switch off, the memory value remains.
A
Press the cruise button again while running, and the
cruise control turns on. The machine can be run at the
preset traveling speed.
A
Even during cruising, the foot throttle can be used to
speed up. Release the pedal, and the previous cruise
speed is resumed.
A
When the cruise control is activated in the state as
which speed is not memorized, the tractor will stay at
creep speed (approx. 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)).
A To activate the cruise control while driving, the tractor
speed requires more than 10% of preset speed.
For example, if the preset speed is 40 km/h (24.9
mph), more than 4 km/h (2.5 mph) driving speed is
required to activate the cruise control.
