OPERATION
Manual shift mode
Set the starting gear speed.
REMARK
When the starting switch is turned ON, the mode is set auto-
matically to automatic mode (set to "F1-R1").
When the gear shift mode is switched, "F1-R1" is selected as
the default.
METHOD FOR GEARSHIFTING OPERATION USING PRESET MODE FUNCTION
Preset mode selection means the function that sets the maximum gear speed (automatic gear shift mode) or
starting gear (manual gear shift mode) speed beforehand.
When the joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) is in neutral position (N), you can change the gear
shift mode by pressing UP switch (a) or DOWN switch (b).
Automatic shift mode
• F1-R1 mode
• F1-R2 mode
• F2-R1 mode
• F2-R2 mode
• F2-R3L mode
• F3L-R3L mode
Manual gear shift mode

• F2-R3 mode
The selected gear shift mode is displayed on the gear speed display portion of the machine monitor.
Gear shift operation when "F1-R1" mode is set
When the joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) is
operated to the front (FORWARD operation), the gear speed
shifts to F1. When it is tilted back (reverse travel operation), the
gear speed is set to R1.
Gear shift operation when "F1-R2" mode is set
When the joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) is
in neutral position (N), if UP switch is pressed once, the mode
is set to "F1-R2" mode. Then, when the joystick (steering, di-
rectional and gear shift lever) is titled forward (forward travel
operation), the gear speed is set to F1. When it is tilted back (reverse travel operation), the gear speed is set to
R2.
Gear shift operation when "F2-R2" mode is set
When the joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) is in N (Neutral) position, if you press the up switch
3 times, "F2-R2" mode is selected. After that, if the joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) is operated
forward (FORWARD operation), the gear speed shifts to F2. When it is tilted back (reverse travel operation), the
gear speed is set to R2.
