  • Page 96 SECTION 2 - OPERATION 2. Powershift Forward Gear While Moving With the engine running, depress the neutral lock button and move the control lever forward (the digital display will show “F5” and the tractor will start to move forward). Increase engine speed and/or move the control lever to the right and allow the transmission to run through the gears until the desired operating speed is achieved.
  • Page 97 SECTION 2 - OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE AND MOVING IN REVERSE As with forward travel, there are two methods: 1. Preselect a Reverse Gear Before Moving Start the engine with the control lever in neutral (the digital display will show “N5”). Move and release or hold the control lever to the right and allow the transmission to select any gear between 5th and 10th as shown in the display.
  • Page 98 SECTION 2 - OPERATION SHUTTLE OPERATIONS To change from forward to reverse travel, simply depress the neutral lock button and move the control lever fully rearward. This may be done at any engine speed and with any gear selected. WARNING Gears 1 and 11- -18 inclusive are not available in reverse.
  • Page 99 SECTION 2 - OPERATION Down Shift Decrease engine speed, then depress the inching pedal, simultaneously increasing engine speed by pressing the foot throttle further down, then release the inching pedal. The transmission will automatical- ly select a lower gear (provided 10th gear is not already selected) to match the higher engine speed.
