OPERATION
REMARK
When the gear is shifted, the current gear speed is displayed in the gear speed display section of the ma-
chine monitor.
(Example)
Neutral: "N" is displayed in the display section.
Forward 2nd: "F2" is displayed in the display section.
Reverse 3rd: "R3" is displayed in the display section.
When the parking lever is locked, "P" is displayed.
For gear shift operation in the preset mode, see "SHIFT GEARS (3-170)". The preset mode selection is the
operation to set the gear speeds to be selected in advance in N (neutral) position.
Counter-rotation turn
If the R.H. and L.H. loads are uneven during counter-rotation turn, the machine may makes a pivot turn.
Accordingly, check the ground condition and pay attention to interference with obstacles during opera-
tion.
When the lever is tilted halfway in the direction you are turning
while it is in N (neutral) position, the R.H. and L.H. track shoes
rotate in the opposite directions to each other to make a coun-
ter-rotation turn slowly. If the lever is tilted fully, the counter-ro-
tation turn speed increases.
(R) RIGHT counter-rotation turn
(L) LEFT counter-rotation turn
DECELERATOR PEDAL

Do not place your foot on this pedal unless necessary.
When passing over the top of a slope or when dump-
ing soil from a cliff, there is danger that the load on the
machine will suddenly be reduced and the travel
speed will increase. In this case, depress the decelera-
tor pedal to reduce the travel speed.
The decelerator pedal is used to reduce the engine speed or
stop the machine.
When changing the travel direction or stopping the machine, depress the decelerator pedal to reduce the travel
speed in advance.
