DASHBOARD LEVERS
Forward/reverse gear selection lever
This lever “1” (g.23/C) allows you to change gear and sound
the horn. The pilot lights showing in which the direction the ma-
chine is travelling light up on the instrument panel (g.24/C po-
sition “F-R”). If the pilot lights are off, the machine is in neutral.
The letter “N” appears on the LCD (g.24/C position “N”). If you
keep the lever in the intermediate position, the gear is in neutral
and the machine is partially braked.
The rotary lever function is not enabled in these models.
- CAUTION:
To engage the FORWARD/REVERSE gears, you have to rst
move the lever upwards. This movement protects the lever
from accidental manoeuvres.
- Move the lever to position “F” (fig.23/C), to engage
the FORWARD gears and the pilot light “F” (fig.24/C)
switches on.
- Move the lever towards “R” (g.23/C) to engage the RE-
VERSE gear, and pilot light “R” (fig.24/C) switches on.
When reverse gear is engaged, an acoustic or visible
alarm is triggered.
- Press the end of the lever to sound the horn (fig.23/C
position “2”)
CAUTION
The lever movements are not active when:
- The parking brake is engaged.
- The operator is not correctly seated in the driver’s seat.
- The basket is assembled on the machine, the electric
basket connector is inserted in the boom head and the
“machine function” selector is in the “basket” position.
- The basket is raised above ground and/or the boom is
extended (even partially).
- Rear axle oscillation is locked.
- The stabilisers are lowered.
- The manual electronic accelerator is enabled.
How to change gear
- Reduce engine speed to the minimum.
- Select the new direction.
- CAUTION:
It is dangerous to use the forward/reverse gear lever when the
engine is running at high speed because the direction is chan-
ged abruptly.
If the forward/reverse gear lever is moved to a position other
than neutral while the parking brake is engaged, the hydrosta-
tic transmission will not be enabled.
