Shifting the POWRQUAD Plus™ Transmission

1. Select neutral using left-hand reverser lever (C).
2. Start engine and let it run for 5 seconds.
3. Depress clutch pedal and move range shift lever (A) to desired range.
4. Select forward or reverse using left-hand reverser lever (C).
5. Shift gears by pressing upshift/downshift switches (B).

The clutch pedal must be depressed to change ranges. There is no need to depress the clutch pedal to shift gears or to change direction of travel. When changing ranges at speeds above 7 km/h (4.4 mph) an automatic function ensures that the gear selected matches travel speed. This automatic function can be overridden by holding down one of the gear-shift switches. At speeds below 7 km/h (4.4 mph) speed matching is disabled.

To park the tractor, move left-hand reverser lever (C) to its neutral position, then engage park lock using range shift lever (A).

IMPORTANT: Engage PARK position only when the tractor is stationary.

NOTE: With the tractor stopped, if shift lever (A) is moved to the park position when left-hand reverser lever (C) is not in neutral, an acoustic signal is triggered and the letter "N" starts to flash. When the engine shuts off, the left-hand reverser remains in the selected position but the transmission shifts into neutral. If the left-hand reverser lever is not in neutral when the engine is started, an acoustic signal is triggered and the letter "N" starts to flash to alert the operator to this situation. If the left-hand reverser lever is moved out of neutral while park lock is engaged, and acoustic signal is triggered. To make the tractor move, first put the left-hand reverser in neutral and then move it to the desired position.

For a smoother shift, engine speed is temporarily matched by the electronic system at speeds above 7 km/h (4.4 mph). See "Customization" in the "Diagnostic Trouble Codes" section.

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 left-hand reverser drive lever operates. At temperatures below -10° C (14° F), it may take longer to change direction of travel. Automatic engine-speed matching, is disabled at temperatures below +5° C (41° F).

In certain circumstances, the left-hand 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.

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.

NOTE: In the come-home mode, engine speed is limited to 1500 rpm and only the first gear in each range is available.
