TRANSMISSION
POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION
Thoroughly read the following information before
operating the transmission.
The Powershift transmission is operated by a single
control lever, 1. Because the transmission has only
one control lever, it is extremely easy to use.
NOTE: The control lever is equipped with a neutral
lock button, 2. The control lever may only be moved
to the forward or reverse positions if the neutral lock
button on the control lever knob is depressed.
Neutral may be selected without depressing the
neutral lock button.
In place of the usual clutch pedal is an inching pedal.
The powershift transmission control lever is used to
select forward or reverse travel and to change
transmission speeds. Move the lever forward for
forward travel and rearward for reverse travel.
The powershift transmission control lever is also
used to make instantaneous upward or downward
gear changes. Move and then release the lever to the
right for upward changes and to the left for downward
changes.
Consecutive gear changes may be made, either by
moving and releasing the lever several times or by
holding the lever to the left or right and allowing the
transmission to shift through the gears automatically.
WARNING
Always engage the hand brake before leaving the
tractor. The transmission will not prevent the
tractor from rolling when the engine is running or
shut off.
IMPORTANT: The Powershift transmission should
not be towed other than to remove it from the field or
onto a transporter. Do not attempt to tow-start the
tractor. See “Starting The Tractor With Jumper
Leads” in this section of the manual.
