GRADERS OPERATIONS
WITH FUNK TRANSMISSION
845B / 865B / 885B models with FUNK Transmission
The transmission control lever is used to select the desi-
red forward or rearward speeds.
These machines are equipped with a 8 speed forward
and 4 speed reverse transmission.
The gear shifting is performed through an electronic se-
lector which function is also to avoid an improper gear
shifting.
The desired gear (1st, 2nd, etc) as well as the travel di-
rection (forward or reverse) can be chosen through this
selector.
The command positions for the gearshift lever are the
following:
F – Forward
N – Neutral
R – Reverse
DS – Down shift
US – Up shift
The front panel is equipped with a digital indicator that
shows in which gear the transmission is engaged. If the
display shows an “error code” it means that some fault
has occurred in the transmission system. Therefore it is
necessary to contact a CASE dealer.
With the machine stopped, when the selector lever is mo-
ved (to forward or to reverse position), the transmission
automatically selects the 1st gear according to the cho-
sen travel direction (1st forward or 1st reverse).
The remaining gears selection can be performed by a
simple touch to the right (speed increase) or to the left
(speed decrease), on the selector lever. The digital dis-
play will always indicate the travel direction and in which
gear the transmission is engaged.
When the machine is stopped, any gear lower than F3 or
R2 can be selected to move again.
Lock Ring
The neutral lock is a device that holds the lever blocked
(transmission in neutral) avoiding this way its undesired
movement.
To select the forward or reverse gears the lock-ring must
be pulled upwards, hold it in this position and move the
gearshift lever to the desired position.
