SECTION 2 - OPERATION

PROGRAMMABLE UP SHIFT - DOWN

SHIFT

For field use, the transmission can be programmed

to up shift 1, 2, or 3 gears or down shift 1, 2, or 3 gears

when switch, 1, is activated. This feature allows the

operator to up shift or down shift a predetermined

number of gears on row ends then return to the

original gear when returning to work.

The programmable down shift should be used to

reduce speeds in the field for crossing rough terrain

or climbing steep inclines.

The UP SHIFT, DOWN SHIFT rocker switch, 1, is

located beside the 3-point hitch FAST RAISE/WORK

switch, 2. See “3-Point Hitch Hydraulic Controls”.

The use of these features together allows quick turn

around at the end of the field.
