Joystick implement control.
(54) Direction Control
(55) Transmission DownshiftThe direction of the machine is determined by the position of lever (77) that is on the left-hand side of the steering column. Alternate forward/neutral/reverse switch (54) is located next to the implement controls or on the left-hand side of the joystick control.FORWARD - Push lever (77) forward to place the transmission in FORWARD.NEUTRAL - Push lever (77) to the middle position to place the transmission in NEUTRAL.REVERSE - Push lever (77) rearward to place the transmission in REVERSE.Direction Control - The machine may be placed into gear by using the forward/neutral/reverse on either the transmission and direction control or the implement control console. To use the transmission and direction control lever, ensure that forward/neutral/reverse switch (54) on the right implement control console is in the NEUTRAL position. To use the switch on the implement control console, ensure that the forward/neutral/reverse lever on the steering wheel is in the NEUTRAL position.

Transmission and direction control lever with steering wheel (If Equipped)
Rotate the transmission and direction control lever to shift the transmission.Note: In cold conditions the transmission will remain in second gear until the transmission oil is warm.Transmission Mode
The following modes can be selected with the auto/manual transmission select button:Manual - Manual shifting mode. No indicators will be illuminated.Auto 2-D - Autoshifting from gears 2 to D. No auto downshift to first gear. Indicators B, C, D will be illuminated.Auto 1-D - Autoshifting from gears 1 to D. First gear downshift is based on torque required. Indicators A, B, C, D will be illuminated.Note: The auto/manual maximum gear will not exceed the maximum forward gear or the maximum reverse gear setting configured in the software. The machine can be electronically adjusted by a Cat dealer. With the steering wheel the maximum gear is also limited by the gear selected with the transmission shift lever.Manual Shift Control
When the auto/manual transmission mode is set to manual, the operator selects the travel gear. The gear is determined by the gear selected with the transmission shift lever and the down shift switch. The transmission sets the machine gear to the gear number selected on the transmission shift lever. The manual shifting will not exceed the maximum forward gear or the maximum reverse gear that is configured in the software.If the transmission shift lever is set to second gear and the downshift button is pressed, the gear will change to first gear. The shift only occurs if the conditions allow for a downshift at the time. The machine will remain in first gear until the transmission shift lever position increases or the machine direction is changed. The machine will shift to the
