speed range.

the front panel is set to
l position (ON).
Q (OFF) position: Canceled

The transmission is automatically shifted down F2→ F1, F3

REMARK
While the preset mode is in operation, it is designed the way
the machine does not automatically shift up for a safety reason,
even after it automatically shifts down.
To shift up, press UP (U) button manually.
However, the preset mode setting remains the same. The
machine returns to the set travel speed when the steering - for-
ward / reverse shifting - gearshift lever is once operated to the
neutral position and then either to the FORWARD or to the
REVERSE position again.
