Shoe slip control mode
Changing the gear speed used while the machine is traveling
• During
forward travel: The gear speed used can be set to
F1 to F3.
• During reverse travel: The gear speed used can be set to
R1 to R3.
UP switch (a): Each time this is pressed, gear speed used goes
up one range.
DOWN switch (b): Each time this is pressed, gear speed used
goes down one range.
REMARK
• In the automatic gear shift mode, if the maximum gear
speed has been changed while traveling, return the joy-
stick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) to NEU-
TRAL position. The setting is returned to the maximum
gear speed set in the preset mode before starting to travel
(when the transmission has been at NEUTRAL).
• The preset cannot be changed during travel.
• In the shoe slip control mode, the shoe slip control func-
tions only in gear speed F1.
NOTICE
• Do not move close to the edge of a cliff unnecessarily.
When dropping soil at the edge of a cliff to build an
embankment or landfill, always leave one load and use
the next load to push the previous load over.
• When passing over the top of a slope or when dump-
ing soil from a cliff, there is danger that the load on the
machine will suddenly be reduced and the travel
speed will increase. In this case, depress the decelera-
tor pedal to reduce the travel speed.
• In the shoe slip control mode, when a load is applied,
the gear speed automatically shifts down, but even
when the load is removed, the gear speed does not au-
tomatically shift up.
METHOD FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN FORWARD AND REVERSE
WARNING
When switching the travel direction, confirm the safety in
the direction to select.
CAUTION
You can switch the forward/reverse travel direction without
stopping
the machine. However, for the safety, operator
comfort, and service life of the power train, it is recom-
mended not to switch with the engine at full throttle but
depress the decelerator pedal, decrease the engine speed,
and then switch.
