Operation
GEAR SHIFTING
CAUTION
Never select abruptly a lower gear when driving with high
speed, since this may damage the engine and gear mechanism!
Always reduce speed first, using the service brake, before you
select a lower gear.
GEAR SELECTION
Select the required or appropriate gear using the gear lever (1). Dozing
and loading operations are only to be performed in the 1st or 2nd gear.
Activate the gear lever limit-stop (2) when you carry out these operations,
since it will block the 3rd and 4th gear.
AUTOMATIC GEAR-SHIFT
This machine has an automatic gear-shift for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear.
This mechanism is only active if the 4th gear is selected with the gearshift
lever (1). The 1st gear cannot be automatically activated.

KICK-DOWN FUNCTION
The kick-down function is recommended for driving in the 2nd gear to
perform dozing or loading operations.
The 1st gear can be selected at any time using the kick-down switch
(arrow), which is integrated into the work hydraulic control lever, by
pressing it briefly when the 2nd gear has been selected with the gear
lever (1).
If your machine is fitted with a multifunctional lever, you can activate the
kickdown function by pressing the toggle switch at the front of the multi-
function lever to position '1'.
