Efficiency Manager™ shifts transmission to maintain set speed.

  • Efficiency Manager™ is not to be used during scraper loading.
  • Efficiency Manager™ allows for three shift modes Full Auto, Custom and Manual.

Enabling Efficiency Manager™

  • Efficiency Manager™, is automatically enabled in Full Auto Mode and Custom Mode.
  • To enable Efficiency Manager™ in Manual Mode, select Efficiency Manager™ button 1 or 2 (K) on CommandARM™.

When using Efficiency Manager™ Transmission

  • Efficiency Manager™ indicator will light on the corner post display (I).
  • Set throttle to full engine rpm. Tractor reaches set speed only if engine throttle is set to full rpm.
  • Efficiency Manager™ commands up or down shifts and engine rpm to maintain wheel speed.
  • When in Full Auto Mode and Custom Mode, shifting with bump lever automatically changes set speed to next closest available standard set speed.
  • Shift decision is based on load conditions, throttle command, and operator settings.
  • Target speed is adjusted using set speed adjuster (J) on shift lever.
  • If engine speed falls to low levels, transmission will shift into neutral to prevent engine stall.
  • Depressing clutch pedal suspends Efficiency Manager™ but not Efficiency Manager™ function. Efficiency Manager™ resumes in startup gear or lower, when clutch pedal is released. To adjust startup gear see Setting Startup Gear in this section.

NOTE: Efficiency Manager™ set speeds can be programmed into iTEC™, but not Efficiency Manager™ on and off.

Disabling Efficiency Manager™ Transmission

Efficiency Manager™ can be disabled only in Manual Mode, and is engaged when an Efficiency Manager™ button (K) is selected again.

IMPORTANT: When disabling Efficiency Manager™, tractor rpm changes to match throttle position, possibly resulting in tractor acceleration.
