Gear Shifting From Lower To Higher Gears; Gear Shifting From Higher To Lower Gears; Travelling Up The Slope; Travelling Down The Slope - Zetor PROXIMA GP Series Operator's Manual

Gear shifting from lower to higher gears

Depress the clutch pedal (clutch disengaged). At the same
time release the pedal of foot fuel control and shift the
applicable higher gear. Release the clutch pedal (clutch is
engaged) smoothly and at same time increase engine
revolutions.
Note: For increasing the life cycle of synchrones, it is
possible to shift from higher to lower gear with the
socalled double declutching.

Gear shifting from higher to lower gears

Depress the clutch pedal and shift the gear shifting lever
through neutral to lower gear.
Note: For increasing the life cycle of synchrones, it is
possible to shift from higher to lower gear with the
socalled double declutching.

Travelling up the slope

Shift gears from higher to lower gears in time
when travelling up the slope so as to avoid drop of
engine revolutions under 800 rpm and do not allow
ride leading to stopping the engine for overload.

Travelling down the slope

Driving downhill a slope without a gear shifted
is prohibited. When driving down a longer slope, shift
the lower the gear, the steeper the slope is. If
possible, shift a lower gear before the slope and do
not allow an increase in engine speed above 2600
min-1 , there is a risk of serious damage to the engine.
Note: With the same gear shifted that you climb a hill
safely, you also drive the hill down.
