Komatsu — SWITCHES

. OPERATION EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS REMARK DIMMER SWITCH This switch (9) is used to switch the head lamps between high beam and low beam. Position (A): High beam Position (B): Low beam 3 - 41 Even in Manual mode, no engine s tall occurs a s this model has the linked co ntrol of torque conve rter and direct drive. When working travel at very sl ow speeds through acceleration When selecting torque converter A uto mode an d F5 to F8 of the gear shift le ver, the machine sta rts off at F4 in torque convert as appropriate.

When traveling reverse (R1 to R4 ), the gear sh ifts in Manual mode are mad e in the same manne r as in torque converter Auto When selecting torque converter A uto mode an d R3 to R4 of the gear shift le ver for reverse travels , the machine starts off at R2 i n torque converter state and the reafter the gear speeds auto matically change up t o the selected one as appropri Even if operatin g the gear shift leve r when trave ling at high speeds, the gear s hift is not actuated as long as there is possibility of overrun of the engine. After th overruns, the g ear speed automatically change NOTICE operations possibly apply excessive loads to the lockup clutch and cause failures.
