When shifting the gear shift lever from NEUTRAL position (N)
to D (FORWARD) or R (REVERSE), release the accelerator
pedal, set the engine speed at low idle, then press the lock but-
ton of the gear shift lever to operate.
RETARDER CONTROL LEVER
CAUTION
Do not use retarder brake to park the machine.
The retarder control lever is used to operate the retarder when
traveling downhill.
The more the retarder control lever is pulled toward you, the
greater the braking force becomes.
When the retarder operates, the retarder pilot lamp lights up on
the machine monitor.
When leaving the operator's seat, always apply the parking brake.
REMARK
• When the ARAC system is in operation, the retarder control lever has some play at the start of stroke. It
does not mean that the retarder does not work, but that it is the range of the ARSC system operation. Sud-
den operation of the retarder lever will cause sudden braking. Take care.
• If the retarder is operated with retarder control lever while the KTCS is in operation, the KTCS operation
stops.
