Operating PowrReverserâ„¢ Transmission

causym CAUTION: Leaving transmission in gear with engine stopped WILL NOT prevent tractor from moving. Put transmission gear shift lever in PARK and electro-hydraulic directional reverser lever in NEUTRAL before dismounting.

Gear shift lever (A) provides four forward travel speeds (1, 2, 3, 4) and reverse.

Range shift lever (B) provides three speed ranges (A, B, C).

Electro-hydraulic (EH) directional reverser lever (C) provides travel direction (forward or reverse).

When using range and gear shift levers in different combinations, 12 forward and reverse speeds are available.

NOTE: Slow speed gearing (creeper) is available as an option.

1. When starting tractor, put EH directional reverser lever in neutral and cycle clutch pedal one time to disengage the engagement override valve.

IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary wear, never "ride" the clutch by resting a foot on the pedal.

2. Depress clutch pedal and stop tractor before shifting range shift lever.

3. Use EH directional reverser lever to select travel direction. You can change travel direction without depressing the clutch pedal.

4. Depress clutch pedal when shifting gears. Gear shifts (1, 2, 3, 4) can be made on-the-go, without stopping. Release clutch pedal gradually to take up load smoothly.
