4.14. SHIFTING GEARS
The transmission has three forward gear ranges, three reverse gear ranges, and neutral, which are
manually selected with transmission gear range lever 44 and direction lever 45.
The transmission is full powershift type and any gear range or direction can be changed at any time
without stopping the machine.
The first gear is the lowest and main working range. The second gear can be used when working in
loose material or hauling at short distances. The third gear is used to road the machine at longer
distances at maximal machine speeds.

DOWN-SHIFTING
Down-shifting should never be made at a vehicle ground speed higher than the maximal speed for
the gear you intend to shift down to. Failure to do so results in sudden braking of the machine. For
speed ranges in the respective gears refer to TRANSMISSION , Section 6.
ATTENTION:
Down-shifting from 3 to 1 or 2 when driving at maximum speed may result in drive
train damage.
UP-SHIFTING
An up-shift from "1" to "2" or from "2" to "3" can be made at any speed. To get proper acceleration,
speed up the machine to maximum speed before up-shifting. For speed ranges in the respective
gears refer to TRANSMISSION, Section 6.
4.15. STEERING
The machine is articulated and steering is accomplished by hydraulic power which pivots the main
frames at the center articulation pivot. Turn the steering wheel until reaching the desired angle of
turn. Hydraulic power holds the angle of turn until the steering wheel is turned again.
WARNING! Never allow anyone near the center articulation pivot with engine
running.
GROUND DRIVEN STEERING (IF EQUIPPED)
If there is a drop in hydraulic steering pressure, the ground driven steering will be actuated
automatically and warning light on the instrument panel will flash. The amount of the oil supplied by
