Travel speed is set to suit the general work load and gear shifting is easy. This is ef-
fective for the operator who is accustomed to 3 speeds gear shifting pattern or for the
work which requires frequent gear shifting.
Travel speed can be set in 20 levels between 0.8 and 8.5 km/h.
In particular, minimum travel speed is set low and it ensures the safe work for loading
to the trailer or riding over unevenness of the road.
Full power is generated, so use this mode for operations on uphill slopes or when
handling large volumes of soil.
Use this mode when it is desired to reduce fuel consumption.
Use this mode for soil or operations where the shoes tend to slip and where decelera-
tion operations are needed.
Use this mode for pushing-down operations and grading operations where power is
not needed.
