The transmission control has six buttons. (1) Mode (2) Upshift Arrow (3) Downshift Arrow (4) "D" button (5) "N" button (6) "R" buttonRefer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Transmission Control".
The machine must be stopped and the engine at low idle before changing direction. After moving the transmission control, do not accelerate until after hearing or feeling the transmission clutches engage.
When the transmission control is in the NEUTRAL position (5) , the neutral lock prevents the transmission control from being accidentally moved into a gear position.Press the neutral lock switch, and move the transmission control forward or backward in order to select the following gears."R" - The "R" indicates the reverse gear. Pressing this button causes the transmission to shift into the reverse gear."N" - The "N" indicates the transmission neutral position. Pressing this button causes the transmission to shift to neutral."D" - The "D" button indicates the forward gears. Pressing this button will cause the transmission to shift into the first gear in the forward direction."Mode" - Mode Selector"Arrow" - Upshift"Arrow" - DownshiftStop the vehicle and ensure that the engine is at low idle. When you move the transmission control from the NEUTRAL position to the FORWARD position, the first gear and the torque converter drive will be engaged.As you increase engine speed and the ground speed increases, the transmission will upshift. As the ground speed continues to increase, the transmission will upshift automatically until the selected gear is reached.If the ground speed is reduced or the engine speed is reduced by an increased load, the transmission will automatically downshift in order to select the correct gear. The transmission downshifts one gear at a time in order to select the correct gear.A downshift inhibitor prevents the operator from forcing a downshift. When the vehicle is in motion and the gearshift selector is moved to a lower gear, the transmission will not force a sudden downshift. The transmission will not downshift until the proper ground speed is achieved.Checking the Oil Level The gearshift selector can be used in order to initiate the oil level check. The check is initiated by pressing the up arrow and the down arrow on the keypad simultaneously. The status of the oil level is displayed on the digital display.Basic Operation
