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.

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), corresponding maximum speed in band 2 is 250 m/h (820.2 ft/h). 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 lever back to band 1 restores 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 less than forward set speed. Reverse set speed limit can be temporarily overridden by moving Right-Hand Reverser Lever into Reverse Speed Band and increasing reverse set speed. Moving Right-Hand Reverse Lever from Reverse Speed Band to Forward Speed Band 1 and not changing Forward Set Speed 1 resets Reverse Set Speed to less than Forward Set Speed.
