Setting The Forward/Reverse Shuttle Gear; Auto Take Off Feature - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

SECTION 2 - - CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

Setting the Forward/Reverse Shuttle Gear

Start the engine and, with the clutch pedal
depressed, place the shuttle lever (1) in the forward
position. Do not release the clutch pedal. Using the
upshift/downshift buttons, set the forward gear.
Move the shuttle lever into reverse and repeat the
procedure to set the reverse gear. With the forward
and reverse gears set, return the shuttle lever to
neutral and release the clutch pedal. Shuttle Mode is
now activated.
NOTE: Selecting the shuttle gear with the lever in
neutral will result in the same ratio being set for both
forward and reverse.
WARNING
To prevent inadvertent tractor movement, always
stop the engine, place the shuttle lever in neutral and
firmly apply the parking brake before leaving the
tractor. The transmission will not prevent the tractor
from rolling when the engine is shut off.
Auto Take Off
The Auto Take Off feature permits the operator to
engage drive without using the clutch pedal by simply
moving the shuttle lever from neutral to the forward
or reverse position.
The Auto Take Off function is automatically enabled
under normal starting conditions. i.e. operator in the
driving seat, clutch pedal depressed, shuttle lever in
neutral.
After selecting the appropriate gear ranges with the
main shift lever simply move the shuttle lever to the
forward or reverse position without depressing the
clutch pedal. The Auto Take Off function will provide
a controlled start from rest.
NOTE: The Auto Take Off function will be disabled
if the vehicle is at rest with the shuttle lever in the
neutral position and the operator leaves the seat.
Should Auto Take Off be disabled for any reason, the
operator should carry out the following procedure to
re--enable this function.
While sitting in the seat, release the handbrake and
cycle the clutch pedal. The vehicle will then move off
in the direction selected on the shuttle lever.
Once enabled, the Auto Take Off function will
continue to function as long as the operator remains
in the seat.
