Operating Instructions
Transmission Control
Use the transmission control lever to control the
direction of machine travel.
Step on the service brake pedal before putting the
transmission into gear.
To drive forward, move the transmission control
lever toward you and move it up.
To drive in reverse, move the transmission control
lever toward you and move it down: the back-up
alarm sounds and the rear working light turns on
(if equipped).
To return to neutral, move the transmission control
lever to the center position.
Push the “Shift-on-fly” button to shift from one gear
to another when the machine is travelling.
Use this button only when the “Shift-on-fly”
indicator light is lit with a solid light.
When the indicator light is OFF, the travelling
speed is beyond the admissible speed range and,
by pressing the switch, gear won’t be shifted.
If the indicator light flashes, there are errors or
problems. Try to modulate the machine speed and
check if the light comes on with a solid light.
The speed engagement is signalled by the
dedicated indicator lights, according to the
engaged speed.
While traveling less than 3 mph on slopes the shift
on the fly system may not allow 2nd to 1st gear
transition.
Shift to 1st gear before ascending steep slopes.
Come to a complete stop using the service brake
before shifting from 2nd to 1st gear.
Axle Differential Lock
Use the axle differential lock switch to lock the
axle differential and gain added traction in certain
types of terrain such as sand, mud or snow.
Come to a complete stop before activating the
axle differential lock. Do not lock the axle when
the machine is moving.
Push the switch
to activate the axle differential
lock. Release the switch to release the axle
differential lock.
