---------------SE'CTION
A
1he gearshift lever positions
and
Dual Power
po-
sitions
are
shown in
the
road
speed
charts at the
end
of
Section
C.
A WARNING: Dual Power does not oper-
...
ate in reverse
gear.
If
operating in a for-
ward gear with
ruulerdrive selected, travel speed
will
increase to the equivalent direct drive ratio
when
the
shuttle lever
is
moved to the reverse po-
sition.
IMPORTANT: A tractor fitted with Dual Power
transmission must not
be
tow started. When using
a
s/a.ve
battery
to
start
the
engine ensure that
the
polarity
is
correct
positire
to
positive,
negative
to
negali:ve,
otherwise the alternator
may
be
dam-
aged.
A WARNING: Always engage the park-
.a
ing brake before dismounting. Dual
Power transmission will not prevent the tractor
from rolling when the engine
is
shut off.
IMPORT
ANT:
If
it is necessary
to
tow the trac-
tor, the range
lever must
be
in
the
high range with
the
main and shuttle levers in neutral. This will
en-
sure correct lubrication
of
the
transmission bear-
ings.
Reduction
Gear
Set (Creeper Gears)
For operations
requiring
extra low ground speeds,
reduction
gear
sets
are
available. For constant
mesh
transmissions, it
is
available
as
a dealer
in+
stalled accessory with a
5.
7:
I or
10:
1 reduction
ratio.
As
the name implies, the reduction gear set has
lhc
effect
of
reducing
all
the
ratios within the main
transmission
to
provide additional gear ratios.
Constant mesh transmissions with a reduction
gear
set have a further
four
forward
and
one
re-
verse
gear
ratios.
To select
the
reduction gears,
with
the engine
run-
ning, depress
the
clutch
and
use
the
main gear
lever to
engage
the
required
ratio
.and
push
the
range lever fully forward beyond the low
(L)
posi-
tion to select
'creep' (C), see Figure 8.
NOTE:
Always return
the
lever to neutral
(N)
from the creep position before stopping the
en-
gine.
The
lever may be difficult to move to neutral
with the engine stopped due
to
'wind-up'
of
the
gears.
The
creeper gears offer very
low
ground
speeds.
Do
not use the low gearing advantage to
apply excessive draft loads
to
the tractor.
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (where fitted)
Four wheel drive grcall y improves traction in dif-
ficult conditions. The drive
to
lhe
front
wheels
is
designed
to
be engaged or disengaged
wilh
the
tractor stationary or moving.
Four wheel drive
is
engaged by means
of
a T-han-
dlc located on the right-hand side
of
the
transmis-
sion housing (sec Figure
10).
To engage
the
drive
lo
the front wheels, pull
the
handle
up.
Push
down
to
disengage
four
wheel drive.
