SECTION 2 -- CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION
2--74
Shuttle Lever
Selection of forward or reverse travel is by means of
an electrically operated shuttle lever, located to the
left of the steering wheel. The lever is spring-loaded
to prevent inadvertent movement, lift to select
forward or reverse drive. It is not necessary to
depress the clutch pedal when actuating the shuttle
lever .
To change from forward to reverse motion, apply the
brakes to slow the tractor, move the shuttle lever fully
rearward, and control tractor speed by means of the
throttle.
NOTE: Forward or reverse drive cannot be engaged
unless the operator is in the tractor seat. Additionally,
if the vehicle is moved in either direction with the
handbrake engaged, an audible alarm will be heard.
IMPORTANT: To reduce clutch damage caused by
shuttle shifting in too high a gear or at too high a
speed, a warning bleeper will be heard and the
symbol ‘N’ will flash in the instrument panel when
tractor speed is greater than 9 Km/h (5 MPH).

Auto Take Off
The Auto Take Off feature permits the operator to
engage drive without using the clutch pedal by simply
moving the shuttle lever from neutral to the forward
or reverse position.
The Auto Take Off function is automatically enabled
under normal starting conditions. i.e. operator in the
driving seat, clutch pedal depressed, shuttle lever in
neutral.
After selecting the chosen gear ranges, simply move
the shuttle lever to the forward or reverse position
without depressing the clutch pedal. The Auto Take
Off function will provide a controlled start from rest.
NOTE: The Auto Take Off function will be disabled
if the vehicle is at rest with the shuttle lever in the
neutral position and the operator leaves the seat.
Should Auto Take Off be disabled for any reason, the
operator should carry out the following procedure to
re--enable this function.
While sitting in the seat, release the handbrake and
cycle the clutch pedal. The vehicle will then move off
in the direction selected on the shuttle lever.
Once enabled, the Auto Take Off function will
continue to function as long as the operator remains
in the seat.
