Forward/reverse Power-Shuttle lever (travel direction change)
To select the forward travel, engage the required gear ra-
tio with the gearshift lever, with the engine idling, shift the
Power-Shuttle lever from the neutral lock position (1) to
the forward position (2). Use the accelerator pedal to con-
trol the engine rpm and the ground speed.
To reverse the direction of travel, reduce engine speed
and shift the Power-Shuttle lever from the neutral lock
position (1) rearwards (3). For reverse travel an audible
alarm device sounds.
NOTICE: The Power-Shuttle lever is equipped with a neu-
tral lock to prevent an accidental engagement of the trans-
mission. With this design, the Power-Shuttle lever moves
through a "T" slot to the forward or reverse positions.
NOTICE: When operating at low environmental tempera-
tures with cold transmission oil, allow the oil to warm up
before attempting to shift the Power-Shuttle lever. The
transmission can be shifted normally after the oil warms
up.
NOTICE: The Power-Shuttle lever can be shifted at
any engine speed, however, as a safety and precau-
tionary measure, the engine must run at approximately
1200 RPM. This action is easily controlled by using the
foot accelerator.
Transmission disconnection
The 4F - 4R transmission provides for easy upward and
downward gear ratio changes on the move. However, as
a clutch is not used between the engine and transmis-
sion, the power flow from the engine to the transmission
must be interrupted to shift from one gear ratio to another.
This is accomplished by using a transmission disconnect
(dump) button. The finger operated button (2) on the main
gearshift lever knob (1) is easy to operate.
WARNING
Loss of control hazard!
Do not depress the transmission pressure
release button or attempt to take the machine
out of gear when going up or down a hill.
Avoid "free wheeling."
Failure to comply could result in death or se-
rious injury.
To make upward gear ratio changes simply press and hold
the button (2) on the gearshift lever (1), while moving the
lever from one gear ratio to another. When the desired
gear ratio has been selected, release the button and allow
the unit to gain speed. If another ratio is required repeat
the procedure.
