Using Creeper Mode

Creeper mode is entered automatically when a set speed of less than 2 km/h (1 mph) is selected in speed band 1.

The default ratio between speed bands 1 and 2 is 2.5 in creeper mode. This is done to eliminate rapid acceleration when lever is moved into speed band 2. For example, if speed band 1 is set at 100 m/h (328.1 ft/h), the corresponding maximum speed in band 2 is 250 m/h (820.2 ft/h). The default ratio may be temporarily overridden (such as when making headland turns) by increasing speed band 2 to a maximum of 10 km/h (6 mph). Moving the lever back to band 1 restores the previous working speeds.

Creeper mode is exited when Set Speed 1 is adjusted above 2 km/h (1 mph) or Set Speed 2 is adjusted above 10 km/h (6 mph).

In creeper mode, reverse set speed can be set to no more than forward set speed. The reverse set speed limit can be temporarily overridden by moving the Right Hand Reverser Lever into Reverse Speed Band and increasing the reverse set speed. Moving the Right Hand Reverse Lever from Reverse Speed Band to Forward Speed Band 1 and not changing Forward Set Speed 1 will reset Reverse Set Speed to no more than Forward Set Speed.
