Working gears

General notes
When you engage the working gears, you can
drive at a lower speed at the same engine
speed. You can then, for example, use spe-
cific attached equipment or increase the trac-
tive power.
Even if the working gears are engaged, you
can manually change all gears.
! Avoid changing gear on slopes. If you
change gear on a downhill slope, you must
depress the service brake to prevent the
vehicle from speeding up. Otherwise, the
gearshift may be noisy and the gearbox
could be damaged.
