14. Kickdown switch
When the gearshift lever is in 2nd, if switch (14) on the head of
the lift arm control lever is pressed, the transmission will shift
down to 1st.
Use this when you need to increase the drawbar pull in digging
operations.
When the gear shift lever is at F1 and the power mode selector
switch is at E mode, if switch (14) is pressed, the mode will
switch to P mode.
Use this function during scraping-up operations or during dig-
ging operations when it is desired to further increase the lifting
force.
!
When using E mode
2nd (E mode) -> 1st (E mode) -> 1st (P mode)
!
When using P mode
2nd (P mode) -> 1st (P mode)
If the transmission is in auto-shift, and the travel speed is below
10.5 km/h (6,5 MPH) in any speed range when traveling in either
forward or in reverse, the kick-down switch is actuated and it is
possible to shift down to 1st.
This makes it easy to carry out load and carry operations.
Even if the travel speed is more than 10.5 km/h (6,5 MPH), this
switch can be used to shift the transmission down. Each time the
kick-down switch is pressed, the speed range will shift down one
range at a time (F4 -> F3 -> F2).
REMARK
When canceling the kick-down, operate the directional lever. In
manual shift, the kick-down can be canceled by operating the
gearshift lever to any position other than 2nd. It is also possible
to cancel the kick-down by turning the starting switch OFF.
In auto-shift, if the travel speed becomes high after the kick-
down, the gear will be shifted up by the auto-shift.
In auto-shift, when traveling at more than 18 km/h (11.2 MPH) in
3rd or at more than 28 km/h (17.4 MPH) in 4th, even if the kick-
down switch is pressed, the transmission will not shift down.
This is to prevent overrun of the engine.
