Changing gear speed
WARNING
!
When traveling at high speed, do not shift gear suddenly.
Use the brake to reduce the travel speed before shifting
gear.
!
Do not switch between FORWARD and REVERSE when
traveling at high speed.
!
When switching between FORWARD and REVERSE,
depress the brake to reduce the travel speed sufficiently,
then change the direction of travel. Max.speed for changing
direction: 12 km/h.
Shift gear as follows.
Move the gearshift lever (1) to the desired position to shift gear.
When carrying out digging or loading operations, the operation
is carried out in 1st or 2nd, so use the gearshift lever stopper (2).
Position (a): 1st
Position (b): 2nd
Position (c): 3rd
Position (d): 4th
For details, see "Preparations for moving the machine (3-114)".
REMARK
If the gearshift lever is operated slowly or is stopped between
gear positions, the central warning lamp may light up and the
alarm buzzer may sound. In this case, there is no failure, but try
to operate the gearshift lever so that the gearshifting is com-
pleted within 2 seconds.
This machine is equipped with kickdown switch (3). When travel-
ing in 2nd, if kickdown switch (3) is pressed, the transmission
shifts down to 1st.
For operations carried out in 1st and 2nd, such as digging and
loading, we recommend the use of the kickdown switch. For
details of the method of use, see "Kickdown switch (3-49)".
This machine is equipped with an auto-shift system that auto-
matically shifts the gear. For details of the method of use, see
"Transmission shift mode selector switch (3-43)" and "Automatic
shift (3-57)".
When the machine is traveling at high speed, if the gear shift
lever is shifted down to a lower speed, such as 4th <-> 3rd or 4th
<-> 2nd, with the accelerator still depressed, the transmission is
not shifted down. This is to prevent the engine from overrunning.
In this case, the central warning lamp lights up and the alarm
buzzer sounds. At the same time, “E00“ is displayed on the top
line of the character display and “OVERRUN PROTECT“ is dis-
played on the bottom line.
If the alarm buzzer sounds, release the accelerator pedal imme-
diately and depress the brake pedal to reduce speed, then carry
out the gearshift operation.
