Engaging Gears
CAUTION:
Gear shifting is possible only with multi-function control handle in neutral position.
NOTE:
Gear shifting is easier while combine is on plain and level ground.
When the combine is in motion, the gearshift cam is automatically locked in place by a solenoid.
NOTE:
In 3rd gear, maximum engine speed is limited to 2250 rpm. Switch (A) reads engine speed and is connected to engine ECU.
IMPORTANT:
Check proper solenoid function daily by listening to the solenoid action with the engine shut off, turning key switch ON and OFF in stages I and II. If a defect occurs, consult your John Deere dealer.
