Gearbox single-lever control
The 7F/2R synchronized gearbox combined
with synchronized reduction gear allows ob -
taining 14 forward and 4 reverse gears.
The gears are shifted by means of the lever (1) in
accordance with the shifting pattern. Prior to put -
ting in the gear, select the required range (stage) .
IMPORTANT! The ranges are selected and the
gears are shifted by means of a single lever
(1), the range (either I or II) being selected
first.
The reduction gear lever (2) shall be always in
the engaged: either forward (direct trans -
mission “H”) or reverse (retarded trans -
mission “L”).
NOTE: The lever of the reduction gear or
multiplier has no fixed neutral position. The
lever is allowed to be set to the neutral posi -
tion when starting the engine in cold season only.
Multiplier lever (2) has two positions:
- “L” - direct gear (OFF) – foremost po -
sition;
- “Н” step-up gear (ON).
