Dhc Switch - Kubota M100GX Operator's Manual

36 OPERATING THE TRACTOR
C Basic operation
1. Start the engine, select a speed range "L", "M" or "H"
with the PS. lever, and the tractor is set at low speed
(1), middle speed (1) [9th] or high speed (1) [17th]. ("1"
appears on the display.)
2. With the PS. lever at "NEUTRAL", select a speed (1st
to 8th) first using the button and then a speed range,
the selected speed with button is obtained.
3. With the PS. lever at "NEUTRAL" and hold down the
button, the speeds change themselves continuously.
(1st to 8th or 8th to 1st)
4. With a speed range "L", "M" or "H" selected,
depressing the button changes the speeds. If the
shuttle lever is set at "NEUTRAL" or the clutch pedal
stays "DISENGAGED", however, the speeds change
themselves continuously. (1st to 8th or 8th to 1st)
5. Main gear shift speed memory function:
Suppose that a job was done at a travel speed, the
speed range (L, M, H) was changed and then the
original speed range was returned. The memory
function serves to automatically pick up the previously
selected main gear number.
Only when the speed range is "H" and the main gear
shift is somewhere between Speed 4 (20th) and
Speed 8 (24th), however, the "H-3" speed (19th) is
automatically selected.

A Turn off the key switch, and the memory will be
cleared.
A Before selecting a speed range, be sure to stop the
tractor. Step on the brake pedal and shift the PS. lever
slowly.
A When you have shifted the PS. lever to "L", "M" or "H"
range, be sure to look at the indicator for the power
shift position. Then release the clutch button or the
clutch pedal.
A Start in lower gears and shift one gear at a time until
desired gear is obtained.
A To prolong clutch life, avoid slipping the hydraulic
clutch. Pay attention to the following points:
A Select proper gear and engine speed depending
on the type of job.
A Avoid lugging the engine, especially in higher
gears. If RPM's drop excessively, shift to a lower
gear.
A In cold climate, it may take longer for the tractor to
move after the PS.lever is moved. This is because the
transmission oil must warm up.
A Properly warm up the machine. If there is not
enough time to do so, start the machine with the
clutch pedal slowly.
A There is no problem with a delay in starting.
The machine will start as the oil temperature
increases.
BDHC switch
On this tractor, the engine load and other fluctuations are
8th)
sensed and the speed is well controlled in response to the
loads. Turn the DHC switch "ON" when using a traction
PTO attachment (baler, etc.) on a slope. A well responsive
speed control can be expected. In other applications, turn
this switch "OFF". Smooth speed change is available for
comfortable ride.
