. OPERATION EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS When moving the gear shift lever from the N position to any other position, press the lock button on the lever and move it to the desired position. The selected position is displayed on the shift indicator at the side of the gear shift lever. The selected shift position is also displayed on the shift indicator on the machine monitor. When operating the gear shift lever, check the shift indicator display to confirm that the desired position has been selected. Set the gear shift lever securely in the desired position.
If it is not set properly in position, the machine cannot travel, and the transmission system caution lamp on the machine monitor will light up. Position R: This is the position for traveling in reverse. If the dump body is still raised, position R cannot be selected. Lower the dump body, set the dump control lever to FLOAT, then press the lock button on the lever and move the lever to position R. Position N: The transmission is in Neutral. In this position, the engine can be started. When parking the machine, always set the gear shift lever to position N. When starting the engine, always check that the gear shift lever is at position N.
If the gear shift lever is not at position N, and it is attempted to start the engine, the central warning lamp lights up and the alarm buzzer sounds. 3 - 12 GEAR SHIFT LEVER Use this gear shift lever (4) to select the speed range for the transmission to match the travel conditions. The relationship between the range of the transmission for each position of the gear shif t lever and the directio n o travel and a maximum travel speed is as follows.
