Starting machine Move gear selector to desired gear which will be indicated on display and drive
away.Inching pedal can be used also in a manner similar to a mechanical clutch.
Most operators will find this to be a very natural operation.
Inching pedal Use when starting or stopping.Use for grader finishing work requiring “Creeper
gear” or very slow speeds.Use for very slow ground speed work to increase
engine speed for hydraulic performance (This should rarely be necessary
because of the wide range performance of the hydraulic system).WARNING: Do
not abruptly depress and release inching pedal to start a heavy load or free a
stuck machine.
Down shifting Downshift one range at a time do not lug down the engine below 1700 RPM.
Watch tachometer. Power shift, do not use inching pedal.
Upshifting Upshift normally as speed, grade, and traction conditions permit. Power shift, do
not use inching pedal.
Shifting while descending During transport, while descending short, steep grades, the engine may be driven
steep grades from the ground by the wheels. In order to maintain a higher speed it could be
necessary to upshift to protect the engine while using brakes for retardation.
Normally the safe and recommended procedure is to descend slowly using a
lower gear together with the brakes, particularly for longer distances.
Shifting forward to reverse Operator can make these shifts as required by normal working conditions. The
and reverse to forward transmission will automatically select the appropriate gear in the opposite
direction and it has built in shock protection.
Parking brake Transmission will not engage a gear with park brake on.
Lugging engine down under Do not repeatedly depress and release inching pedal to force movement of
heavy blade or ripper load machine.
