OPERATING THE TRACTOR44
BDHC switch
On this tractor, the engine load and other fluctuations are
sensed and the speed is well controlled in response to the
loads. Turn the DHC switch "ON" when using a traction
PTO attachment (baler, etc.) on a slope. A well responsive
speed control can be expected. In other applications, turn
this switch "OFF". Smooth speed change is available for
comfortable ride.
A While the DHC switch is at "ON", the hydraulic clutch
behaves quicker at a speed change. Even working on
a slope, therefore, the push-out of an attachment can
be minimized. (Do not change speeds when doing
heavy-duty traction on a steep slope.)
BShuttle Lever
To avoid personal injury or death:
A When attempting to shift the shuttle shift lever
on a slope, be sure to completely stop the
tractor.
A Slow down the engine speed before shifting the
shuttle lever.
A Use the shuttle lever when the machine speed
is below 11 km/h (6.8 mph).
A Otherwise the clutch gets disengaged and the buzzer
starts sounding.
To get the clutch reengaged and clear the buzzer, take
either of the following steps.
(1) Place the shuttle lever back to the original
position. Decrease the machine speed lower than
11 km/h (6.8 mph) and use the shuttle lever.
(2) Stop the tractor first and bring the shuttle lever
back to the original position.
Raise up and shift the shuttle shift lever forward to obtain
forward speeds and shift it backward to obtain reverse
speeds without using the clutch pedal.
With the shuttle lever at neutral, press the up-shift/down-
shift button of the power shift / range shift lever, select the
main speed (1st thru 8th speed) and then switch the sub-
speed range. Now the selected main speed is kept on
whether at "L", "M" or "H".
A While the shuttle shift lever is at the "NEUTRAL"
position, the "N" character appears on the LCD
monitor.
(1) DHC switch (A) "Push to ON"
(1) Shuttle lever (F) "FORWARD"
(N) "NEUTRAL"
(R) "REVERSE"
