Shifting the AutoQuad Plus Transmission

This transmission is shifted in the same way as the PowrQuad Plus (see above). However, it has three further functions: "Automatic gear shifting", "Programmable highest gear in automatic gear shifting" and "Forward/reverse gear programming".

This automatic function is activated by pressing switch (A) once.

The gears in each range are shifted in relation to the position of the hand throttle or accelerator pedal as soon as engine speed reaches a maximum or minimum value. These values can be set at control knob (B).

The automatic function can be de-activated by pressing switch (A) once again or by selecting a gear manually.

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

Eco mode: Hand throttle / accelerator pedal more than 85% towards top speed and engine revs over 1872 rpm: transmission shifts up.
Hand throttle / accelerator pedal more than 55% towards top speed and engine revs under 1300 rpm: transmission shifts down.
Hand throttle / accelerator pedal less than 55% towards top speed and engine revs under 1100 rpm: transmission shifts down.

Power mode: Hand throttle / accelerator pedal more than 85% towards top speed and engine revs over 2240 rpm: transmission shifts up.
Hand throttle / accelerator pedal more than 55% towards top speed and engine revs under 1720 rpm: transmission shifts down.
Hand throttle / accelerator pedal less than 55% towards top speed and engine revs under 1100 rpm: transmission shifts down.

Intermediate settings: The engine speeds at which the transmission shifts can be customized at control knob (B) to change the shift point to an intermediate level between the Eco mode and Power mode speeds.

NOTE: For programming, automatic gear shifting must be switched off.

In addition to activating the automatic gear-shift function, switch (A) may be used to determine the highest possible gear. The following applies:

• Press once = the highest gear is 4th.
• Press twice (briefly) in succession = the highest gear is 3rd.
• Press three times (briefly) in succession = the highest gear is 2nd.

This setting is lost as soon as automatic gear shifting is switched off.

In the example opposite, the current gear (B) is 2nd, and the highest possible gear (C) is 3rd (there are three bars).

For shuttle-shifting, the relationship between forward and reverse gears can be programmed from a maximum of 3 gears higher in reverse to 3 gears lower (+3 to -3).

Do this by moving the range shift lever (A) to its park position while the engine is running. Move reverse drive lever (B) to its neutral position and pull it upwards. The desired relationship can now be set by pressing the upshift/downshift buttons (C) once or several times (see sample displays opposite). +3 means: the tractor will drive in reverse up to 3 gears higher than it will in forward.

The programmed relationship remains in effect when automatic gear shifting is switched off, and is stored after ignition is switched off.

NOTE: When automatic gear shifting is activated, a programmed "highest possible gear" takes priority over the programmed relationship.

Maximum engine speed can be limited for PTO operation by means of cruise control (A). Move the hand throttle lever to full throttle, then reduce engine speed at control knob (A).

In the lowest setting, engine speed is limited to 1400 rpm. In the highest setting, the engine can run at maximum speed. Individual engine speed limits can be set between these two positions.

If no PTO operation is taking place, cruise control (A) should be in its maximum speed position or in the "Off" position.
