CRAWLER RANGE LEVER
The crawler range is obtained by placing the lever (F) to the snail
position.
Once field (tortoise) range is selected using the lever (B), lower
lever (A) and crawler (snail) range is engaged.
The "snail" crawling range is engaged: The "tortoise" light goes
out and the "snail" light comes on.
Important: Only move the crawler range lever (F) when the
tractor is completely stopped and field range is selected.
Never use crawler range to obtain more tractive power than
is available in field range.
PROTECTION OF MECHANICAL PARTS
ENGINE PROTECTION
To avoid over-revving the engine, DRIVETRONIC will not allow a
higher speed to be selected if the engine speed is above 2400
rpm. In this situation the speed selected flashes to tell the driver
that the request has been memorised. It will be carried out later,
when the engine speed has dropped enough to remove any risk
of over-revving.
ANTI-STALLING FUNCTION (SPECIFIC TO QUADRISHIFT
The DRIVETRONIC will not allow a higher speed to be engaged
(e.g. : from 3 to 4) if at the latest change of speed (e.g. : from 2
to 3) the engine speed dropped by more than 12 % without
picking up again. In this situation the light for the selected gear
flashes and the request is memorised.
MONITORING OF OIL TEMPERATURE WHEN COLD
(SPECIFIC TO "QUADRISHIFT")
DRIVETRONIC is able to advise the driver of the style of driving
to adopt using 3 levels of warning:
1 - If the temperature is too low (lower than 5°), the lights of
speeds 1 and 4 flash.
2 - If the temperature is too low and the speed too high, the
lights of speeds 1, 2, 3 and 4 flash.
3 - If the temperature is too low and the speed even higher, the
DRIVETONIC takes the initiative of dropping down a gear.
When one of the alarm levels is active, the gears under load
cannot be used.
