Operating Automatic Powershift (APS)
Automatic Powershift (APS) shifts the transmission to maintain engine speed. APS will not shift above the maximum gear selected. The controller determines shift points based on throttle setting, engine speed and engine load.
The transmission will downshift as many gears as necessary under heavy load. A change in throttle position allows a maximum downshift or upshift of three gears.
Automatic Powershift sensitivity is adjustable for varying load conditions. See Setting Automatic Powershift Sensitivity in this section.
