Shifting the AutoQuad II Transmission (Version II)

Gears are shifted by means of range shift lever (A), gear shift keys (B) - or by gear shift switch (D) - and reverse drive lever (C).

NOTE: When the engine shuts off, the reverse drive lever remains in its selected position but the transmission shifts into neutral. Once the engine is restarted, the letter "N" lights up to draw attention to this situation. To make the tractor move, first put the reverse drive lever in neutral and then move it to the desired position.

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.

This transmission has two further functions: "Cruise Control" and "Shifting with the Foot Throttle".

These functions can be switched on and off at switch (A). The desired engine speed is selected using potentiometer (B).

CRUISE CONTROL

Regardless of engine torque, engine speed is held constant at a preset value.

SHIFTING WITH THE FOOT THROTTLE (AUTO/ECO MODE)

The gears in each range are shifted up or down in relation to the position of the foot throttle as soon as engine speed reaches a maximum or minimum value.

Auto mode: The gears shift up when the foot throttle is pressed more than 85% of its travel and the engine is at rated speed minus 20 rpm.

The gears shift down when the foot throttle is pressed more than 55% of its travel and engine speed is between 1100 and 1700 rpm.

The gears shift down when the foot throttle is pressed less than 55% of its travel and engine speed is less than 1100 rpm.

Eco mode: The gears shift up when the foot throttle is pressed more than 85% of its travel and engine speed is 1900 rpm.

The gears shift down when the foot throttle is pressed more than 55% of its travel and engine speed is between 1100 and 1410 rpm.

The gears shift down when the foot throttle is pressed less than 55% of its travel and engine speed is less than 1100 rpm.

NOTE: "Eco mode" is suitable for light work in the field and for driving on roads when the load being pulled is not heavy.

NOTE: For safety reasons, AutoQuad II is disabled in reverse gears.
