92 Shifting gears
Creep mode
Creep mode uses hydrostatic front wheel drive to power the grad-
er from 0 to 3.2 km/h (0 to 2 mph). The rear wheels are not driving
when Creep Mode is activated.
NOTE! Selecting Creep Mode eliminates any memory gear
combination previously used.
n With the AWD system engaged, the grader stopped and the
transmission in neutral, switch to Creep Mode using the rock-
er switch on the control panel (2). The transmission gear dis-
play will alternate between “C” and “-C” while in neutral until a
gear is selected.
n Place the transmission shifter in the forward or reverse posi-
tion as desired. The display will indicate “C” for forward move-
ment and “-C” for reverse.
n Increase engine speed above 1000 rpm to start moving. Use
engine rpm to adjust to desired ground speed.
n To stop the grader or change direction, depress the clutch
pedal and reduce the engine speed below 1000 rpm.
n Using the clutch and upshifting the transmission will place the
system into normal AWD mode. Shift between a normal AWD
gear combination and Creep Mode.
n After turning Creep Mode off, the transmission will default to
the closest gear.
AWD Aggression
Graders often have different tractive conditions encountered by
the front and the rear of the machine. The 16-position manual dial
control is used to fine tune rotational speed differences that may
occur between the front and the rear wheels when grading under
diverse conditions with the All Wheel Drive system engaged.
n A dial setting at '7' matches the front wheel speed evenly with
the rear wheel speed.
n A lower setting slows the front wheel rotational speed com-
pared to the rear; a higher setting increases the front wheel ro-
tational speed in comparison to the rear.
