If more tractive (lugging) power is required (for
example, when driving up a ramp, up a hill, or up out of
a ditch):
a.
Move the GSL (E) closer to NEUTRAL.
b.
Switch speed-range control (B) to
L
(low range).
9.
Once the lugging condition no longer exists:
a.
Set GSL (E) to
NOT MORE THAN HALF
maximum
forward speed.
b.
Move speed-range control (B) to
H
(high-range).
Steering is more sensitive in this speed range.
Driving in Reverse in Engine-Forward Mode
WARNING
Back up slowly. Steering is opposite to normal when reversing. Hold steering wheel at the bottom and turn
wheel in direction you want the rear (cab-forward) of the machine to travel.

1.
Move speed-range switch (A) to
L
(low-range position).
2.
Move throttle lever (B) to a mid-range position.
NOTE:
Reversing in low-speed range and at reduced engine
speed is recommended since steering will be less
sensitive than at higher speed settings.
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area.
3.
Move the ground speed lever (GSL) (C) rearward to
desired speed.
