TRANSMISSION SELECTOR TURBO 4

The selector provides 3 trasmission options types to the wheels, that make the machine safe and efficient in every
working condition. The positions are the following:
A) Permanent 4 wheel drive : circuit with hydraulic
transmissions in series. This position allows the machine
to have maximum traction. Therefore it should be used on
slopes and on uneven grounds. Forward speed 0-17 km/h.
B) 4 - 2 wheel drive : circuit with hydraulic transmissions in
series equipped with partial automatic unlocking device
of the front traction. The machine operates with a 4 wheel
drive exception in case the steering angle is > than 30°,
in this situation (indicated by a red warning light) a
partial unlock of the front traction occurs, to allow a
narrower steering radius and minimum skidding of the
steering wheels. Forward speed 0-17 km/h. It should be
used on flat fields or on slight slopes when skidding of
the steering wheels is to be avoided and a high maximum
speed is available.
C) Independent 4 wheel drive : circuit with hydraulic transmissions in parallel. Forward speed 0-8 km/h. This
position is suitable when working on flat fields or on slight slopes, it allows a better control of the forward speed
and requires less power by the hydraulic transmission. Completely avoiding skidding during steering, it is also
particularly useful for quality job.
TO BE AVOIDED ON STEEP SLOPES, ESPECIALLY ON WET FIELDS AND WHILST
DRIVING DOWNHILL.
Selection to position A) and position B) is possible while running.
Selection to position C) is possible (and is effective) only when stationary.
