Powertronic, general

Powertronic is a fully automatic gearbox that changes
gear without any interruption in the power transfer. It
has a torque converter with a lock-up clutch working
with all gears. The gearbox can be fitted with a
retarder and a power take-off that can be engaged and
connected while driving. The gear shifter is mounted
on the seat.

Gear shifter

The gear shifter is fixed to the seat and the gear shift
lever can be tilted to allow the driver to move freely
around the cab without being hindered by the lever.
Gear shift lever
On the side of the gear shift lever facing the driver's
seat, is a +/– button (A) with spring-loaded up and
down positions and a neutral position in the middle.
On the top is a button (B) that is used to tilt the gear
shift lever to the horizontal position. There is also a
lock (C) on the front of the gear shift lever to prevent
unintentional gear engagement. The lock must be
pressed in for the following gear changes:
• from N to R
• from N to any of the forward gears
The lock does not need to be pressed when the gear
shift lever is moved from A to M.
The gear shift lever can always be moved to N without
having to press a button.
Gear shift lever positions
Two different programs for driving forward plus
neutral or reverse can be selected with the gear shifter.
R Reverse. Gear changing is done with the +/– button
on the gear shift lever.
N Neutral. No gear engaged.
A Automatic program.
