SECTION 2 -- CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION
2--33
TRANSMISSION WITH RANGE GEAR AND SHUTTLE -- 30 km/h (19 mp/h)
(12 FORWARD GEARS + 12 REVERSE GEARS -- SYNCHRO SHUTTLE)
CAUTION
With the engine running and with just one gear lever
in neutral, the tractor could be started accidentally if
the lever is knocked, with consequent accident risk.
To prevent this happening, move both levers (fig. 65)
to neutral, lower any attached equipment and stop
the engine before leaving the tractor.
The transmission, range gear and shuttle are
independently controlled by three levers.
The main shift lever (1) fig. 65 selects four speed
ratios (1, 2, 3, 4).
The range lever (1) fig. 66 provides three forward
ranges:
-- I = l o w
-- II = medium
-- III = high
There are twelve forward and twelve reverse gears.
To change from a medium gear to a lower or higher
one, stop the tractor, move the range lever to the right
and shift it forward for lower gears or backward for
higher gears.

To change from one speed to another in the same
range (including reverse), shift the main shift lever
after disengaging the clutch (the tractor does not
have to be halted as the gears are Synchro--
engaged).
To reverse the directio n of travel, slow the tractor
almost to a halt, move the shuttle lever (1) fig. 67
rearward, to position (A) to obtain reverse gears or
forw ard (B) to disengage the shuttle and obtain forward
gears. (The tractor does not have to be halted as the
gears are Synchro--engaged).
