Shifting the PowrQuad Plus Transmission

Gears are shifted by means of shift lever (A), gear shift keys (B) - or by switch (D) - and reverse drive lever (C). Slightly lift the reverse drive lever (C) to move it out of the neutral position.

NOTE: Once the engine has started, wait for 5 seconds before moving the reverse drive lever out of neutral position.

The clutch pedal must be depressed to change the ranges. There is no need to depress the clutch pedal to shift gear or to change the direction of travel. When changing ranges, an automatic function ensures that the gear selected matches the travel speed.

CAUTION: If the reverse drive lever is actuated when the engine is running and a range is selected, the tractor will start to move.

IMPORTANT: Engage park lock only when the tractor is stationary.

Optimum gear-shifting for driving under load (transport):

1. Select a range suitable for driving away under load.
2. Engage the first gear.
3. Drive away and change up through the ranges until the top range is reached.
4. Change up through the gears.

If the oil is cold (0°C, 32°F), it may affect how the reverse drive lever operates. At temperatures below -10° C (14° F), it may take longer to change the direction of travel.

In certain circumstances, the reverse drive lever may have to be actuated several times before the tractor starts to move. When the oil has had time to warm up, operation becomes normal again.

Under certain circumstances, the tractor can still be driven even if there is an electrical fault in the transmission.

To do this, stop the engine, remove plug K10/4 (relay box K10) and re-install it at a position 90° from its original position. The wording "Come Home" must be uppermost.
