MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS
METHOD FOR CHANGING GEAR SPEED WITH SHIFT SWITCH OPERATION
WHILE TRAVELING
It is possible to operate the shift switch when traveling to change the maximum set gear speed when traveling
(Automatic Shift Mode) or gear speed used when traveling (Manual Shift Mode).
Automatic Shift Mode
Changing the maximum gear speed while the machine is trav-
eling
•
During forward travel: The maximum gear speed can be
set to F1 to F3.
•
During reverse travel: The maximum gear speed can be
set to R1 to R3.
Up switch (a): Each time this is pressed, gear speed used goes
up one range.
Down switch (b): Each time this is pressed, gear speed used
goes down one range.
REMARK
•
F3L and R3L are the gear speeds where the engine is
controlled in 3rd to set intermediate speed between 2nd
and 3rd.
•
When the machine starts on a uphill ground in 3L, the gear
speed is set to 2nd for the safety, depending on the condi-
tion of the machine. For example, when the machine starts
by shifting from N to F3L on a uphill ground, the gear
speed may be shifted from N to F2, and then to F3L ac-
cording to the load.
•
If the maximum gear speed has been changed while trav-
eling, return the joystick (steering, directional and gear
shift lever) to NEUTRAL position. The setting is returned to
the maximum gear speed set in the preset mode before
starting to travel (when the transmission was at NEU-
TRAL).
•
The preset cannot be changed during travel.
NOTICE
•
Do not move close to the edge of a cliff unnecessarily.
When dropping soil at the edge of a cliff to build an
embankment or landfill, always leave one load and use
the next load to push the previous load over.
•
When reaching the top of a hill, or at the instant when
the load is dumped from a cliff, the load will suddenly
drop and there is danger that the machine will sudden-
ly increase speed, so depress the decelerator pedal to
reduce the speed when dumping the load.
•
In Automatic Shift Mode, when a load is applied, the
transmission automatically shifts down; when the load
is removed, it automatically shifts up to the maximum
set gear speed.
