Shifting the AutoQuad II Transmission

Transmission is shifted by means of range shift lever (A), gear shift buttons (B/C) and reverser lever (G). Slightly lift the reverser lever (G) to move it out of the neutral position. Gears may also be shifted with switch (D).

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

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 reverser lever is actuated when the engine is running and a range is selected, the tractor will start to move.

IMPORTANT: Engage parking 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.

COLD-WEATHER OPERATION

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

In certain circumstances, the reverser 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.

EMERGENCY MODE

If a malfunction results in the reverser lever not remaining in the forward or reverse drive position, hold the lever physically in position to determine whether the tractor moves or not. If it does move, hold the lever in position and drive to the nearest workshop.

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

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.

Power 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 is disabled in reverse gears.
