How to move off
Main clutch
Transmits drive from the engine to the transmission.
Pedal up = clutch engaged (drive is transmitted)
Pedal down = clutch disengaged (drive not transmitted)
Make gradual engagements and disengagements.
Remove your foot from the clutch pedal when not required.
lengthy clutch disengagements could wear out the thrust bearing.
NEVER attempt to drive up or down slopes with the clutch disengaged.
Gearbox
The machine’s transmission comprises a gearbox, final drive and synchronized reverse
shuttle, each controlled by its own lever.
The speed at which you drive the machine must be chosen to suit:
• the work required
• the implement used
• the type of ground
Information about the ground speeds is given in the “technical specifications” section.
