tion switch (14) to the OFF position (the clutch is en-
gaged). While stepping on the brake pedal, depress the
accelerator pedal (12). Slowly release the brake pedal (8)
to allow the machine to easily start moving on a slope.
5. Manual transmission mode (M):
After moving forward/reverse lever (10) to either forward (F)
or reverse (R) position, move the transmission gear switch
(11) to the desired position. The transmission gear position
can be shifted in 4 stages in the forward mode and 3 (or 4)
stages in the reverse mode respectively. Select the most ap-
propriate transmission gear position according to the type
of the work engaged in or the driving road conditions.
6. Auto transmission mode (L, N, or H):
When operating the machine in the auto transmission
mode (L, N, and H), move the forward/reverse selector lever
to either the forward (F) or reverse (R) position. Select the

To primarily increase work volume
(Suitable to operation in a steep upslope work site
or in a work site where the first driving gear range
is frequently used)
