The
transmission permits
_upward
and
downward
gear changes on the
move.
In
addition,
the
ad-
vanced design pennits a change
from
one
range
to
another
while
on
the move, provided
the
clutch
pedal is depressed and the engine speed adjusted
accordingly.
IMPORTANT:
When shifting to a lower ratio,
while on the move, select the next consecutive
gear in order
to avoid overspeeding the engine
which
may
cause damage to the clutch and/or
transmission components. Further, it should be
recognised that when shifting from one range to
another, four intermediate gear ratios are
by-
passed. When shifting from one range to another
while
on
the move, adjust the engine speed to com-
pensate
and/or select
an
alternative gear ratio to
minimize the number
of
ratios bypassed.
The
shuttle lever is used
to
select
forward
or
re-
verse travel
when
any
one
of
the
eight
gear
nttios
is
engaged provided that
the
clutch
pedal
is
depressed.
10
For forward travel. depress the clutch, engage the
required gear with
the
main gearshift lever and use
the
range lever to select the required
range.
With
the
engine idling, ease
the
shuttle lever to the right
to
clear the safety stop, then move fully forward
and
engage the clutch to obtain forward travel.
NOTE:
When
operating in temperatures below
-18°
C (0°
F)
with cold transmission oil. avoid
shuttle operations,
as
far
as
practicable, until
the
oil has
warmed
up.
To reverse the direction
of
travel,
reduce
engine
speed, depress
the
clutch, case
the
shuttle lever to
the
right
to
clear
the
safety stop, then move the
lever
rearwards.
NOTE:
The speed in reverse gear
is
approxi-
mately the same
as
the speed
in
the equivalentfor-
ward
gear.
The gearshift lever positions arc shown in
the
road
speed
charts at
the
end
of
Section
C.
IMPORTANT:
If
it is necessary
to
tow the trac-
tor, the range lever must
be
in
the high range with
the main
and
shuttle levers
in
neutral.
This
will en-
sure
correct lubrication
of
the
transmission bear-
ings.
Dual
Power Transmission (option)
Dual
power transmission is a hydraulically oper-
ated dual clutch
pack
within
the
transmission
housing which
allows
the
operator
to
select under·
drive
in
any
forward
gear while on
the
move.
This, effectively, increases torque,
reduces traetor
speed
by
approximately 20% and doubles the
number
of
forward gear ratios (16 x 8 transmis-
sion).
The switch for
Dua] Power
is
located on
t.hc
in-
strument panel.
Press
the
rear
of
the
switch (tor-
toise symbol)
to
select undcrdrivc. Press
the
front
of
the
switch (hare symbol) for direct drive.
