LEVER AS 0939826 - Caterpillar

Keep the machine under control at all times.Do not shift the transmission to NEUTRAL to allow the machine to coast.Select the gear range necessary before starting downgrade. Do not change gears while going downhill.A good practice is to use the same gear range going downgrade that would be used to go up the grade.Do not allow the engine to overspeed downhill. Use the brake pedal to reduce engine overspeed going downhill.When the load will be pushing the machine, put the transmission selector lever in FIRST speed before starting downhill.1. Raise all lowered implements enough to clear any obstructions. 2. Push down on the brake pedal to keep the machine from moving. 3. Pull the lock lever up to disengage the parking brake and to unlock the transmission control lever. 4. Move the transmission control lever to the desired direction and speed.5. Release the brake pedal.6. Move the governor control lever to the desired engine speed.Changing Speed and Direction
Speed and directional changes at full engine speed are possible for power shift. However, for operator comfort and maximum service life of power train components, decelerating and or braking, when changing directions is recommended.1. Decrease the engine speed by pushing the governor control in, or by pushing the decelerator pedal down. 2. Push the brake pedal down to stop the machine. 3. Move the transmission control lever to NEUTRAL.4. Move the transmission control lever to the desired direction and speed.5. Release the brake pedal.6. Increase the engine speed by releasing the decelerator pedal, or pulling back on the governor control lever.Normal Steering
To make a gradual right turn, pull the right steering clutch/brake lever back toward the detent, until a slight pressure is felt. This will release the right steering clutch.Pull the lever back against the stop to make a sharp right turn. This will apply the right brake. To make a gradual left turn, pull the left steering clutch/brake lever back toward the detent, until a slight pressure is felt. This will release the left steering clutch.Pull the lever back against the stop to make a sharp left turn. This will apply the left brake.Steering on a Steep Downgrade
Cross steering is the term used to describe turning gradually on a steep downgrade by declutching, without braking.To make a gradual right turn, pull the left steering clutch/brake lever (1) back toward the detent, until a slight pressure is felt. This will release the left steering clutch (cross steering).To make a sharp right turn, pull the right steering clutch/brake lever (2) back against the stop. This will apply the right brake (normal steering).To make a gradual left turn, pull the right steering clutch/brake lever (2) back toward the detent, until a slight pressure is felt. This will release the right steering clutch (cross steering).To make a sharp left turn, pull the left steering clutch/brake lever (1) back against the stop. This will apply the left brake (normal steering).
