10 SECTION 21 - TRANSMISSION
IMPORTANT: operating at a “stall” for more than 20
seconds can cause the transmission to overheat and
can possibly damage the transmission. If the trans-
mission overheats, the indicator needle (1) moves to
the red zone. Shift both the powershuttle lever and
the gearshift lever to neutral. Idle the engine at 1000
rev/min. until the transmission oil is cooled sufficient-
ly for the indicator needle to drop into the green zone.
Once done, operations may resume.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK PEDAL (MECHANICAL)
In conditions inducing wheel slip, hold down the dif-
ferential lock pedal (1) with your heel until the differ-
ential lock engages. The lock will automatically
disengage when traction at the rear wheels equaliz-
es. If a rear wheel spins at speed, reduce the engine
speed to idle before engaging the differential lock to
minimize shock loads on the rear axle.
SWARNING
Never use the differential lock at speeds above 8 km/
h or when turning the machine.
When engaged the lock will prevent the machine
turning and personal injury could result.
