. OPERATION EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS When operating the shift lever, be sure to set it in position securely. If the lever is not placed in position properly, the shift position display on the panel may go out and the Transmission system caution lamp may light up. Before shifting between forward and reverse, stop the machine completely and then run the engine at low idle. When starting the engine, if the gear shift lever is not at the N (neutral) position, the engine will not start.
When the starting switch is turned from the OFF position to the ON position, if the gear shift lever is not at the N (neutral) position, the shift lever position pilot lamp flashes, the central warning lamp lights up, and the alarm buzzer sounds. When this happens, if the gear shift lever is returned to the N (neutral) position, the lamps will go out and the buzzer will stop. When the parking brake is applied, if the gear shift lever is not at the N (Neutral) position, the central warning lamp will light up and the alarm buzzer will sound.
If the gear shift lever is set to any position other than N (neutral) when the dump lever is at a position other than FLOAT or the body is still raised, the central warning lamp will light up and the alarm buzzer will sound. The gear shift lever must not be returned to the N (neutral) position while traveling. Release the accelerator pedal and run the engine at low idle when moving the gear shift lever from the N position to the forward or reverse position. 3 - 43 5 - 1 p osition : These positions are u sed in places where it is difficult to tr avel at h igh s peed, o r when traveling on soft ground, or when startin g the machin e off o n a s lope when it is loaded .
They a re also used when g oing downhill if i t is needed to use the br akin g force o f the engin e. While the du mp body is r aised, the t ransmission is fixed t o the 1st gear and is not changed . Keep the dump body lowered during tr avel . REMARK In conformity wit h the EU safet y rule (EN474-6 5.1.3), the gear shif t lever is restricted t o the 1st speed and cannot be shifted if it is a nywher e between 1 to 5 positions , when the machine is running whil e the dump body is not fully lowered to it s se at. The spee d ranges for each p ositi on ar e as f ollows. Position Speed range Max.
