FORWARD (1) - Move the transmission lever upward. The machine will move forward.
NEUTRAL (2) - The machine should not move when the transmission lever is in the neutral position.
REVERSE (3) - Move the transmission lever downward. The machine will move in reverse. Forward directional changes and reverse directional changes are possible while the machine is moving. However, reducing the engine speed is recommended, when directional changes are being made. Reducing the machine ground speed and/or braking is recommended, when directional changes are being made. This permits operator comfort and maximum service life of the power train components. To avoid an unstable machine, the machine should be stopped before any directional changes are made with a raised load.The lever should be moved to the NEUTRAL position when you are using the backhoe or when you are leaving the machine. The transmission neutral lock should be engaged when you are using the backhoe or when you are leaving the machine. Note: The alarm will sound when the stabilizers are down and the machine is shifted to FORWARD or REVERSE position.
