Controls and Operating
LOCK-IN-GEAR
The lock-in-gear feature is designed to protect the transmission from damage
should wheel spinning or lockup occur due to poor traction or panic braking. The
ECU will delay making a shift for several seconds and then, if the condition fails
to correct itself, locks in gear and prevents any further shifting. The Check Trans
warning light will come on. If this occurs, the ECU must be reset before normal
operation may be resumed.
To reset the ECU if the transmission has locked in gear because of wheel
spinning or a panic stop, stop the machine, select 'Neutral', apply the parking
brake contorl switch, and shut down the engine. Wait ten seconds, then restart
the engine. Select 'Reverse', then 'Neutral'. The Check Trans warning light should
go 'Off'.
COLD WEATHER STARTS
During cold weather starts, if the transmission temperature is below
-24° C (-10° F) the Check Trans warning light will illuminate and the ECU will
prevent the transmission from being shifted out of Neutral.
Between -24° C (-10° F) and -7° C (19° F) the light will go out and the ECU will
only permit operation in First or Reverse gears. Above -7° C (19° F), normal
operation will be permitted.
