Forward/Reverse Lever/Shift Switch - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

FORWARD/REVERSE LEVER/SHIFT SWITCH

Forward/Reverse Lever
Changes the machine drive direction from forward to re-
verse and vice versa. Move forward/reverse lever (1) to the
F position to travel the machine forward. Move forward/re-
verse lever (1) to the R position to drive the machine in re-
verse.
IMPORTANT: Do not shift forward/reverse lever (1) while
driving the machine at high speed (in the
third or fourth gear stage). Failure to do so
may damage the transmission.
NOTE: The engine will not be started if forward/reverse switch
(3) and the forward/reverse lever (1) are not in the neu-
tral position. Refer to page 1-56 for forward/reverse
selector switch (4).
Shift Switch
A desired transmission gear stage can be selected by turn-
ing shift switch (2).
Forward: 4 Stages
Reverse: 3 Stages ZW220/ZW250 (ZW180/ZW310: 4 stages)
While driving the ZW220 or the ZW250 in reverse, even
though shift switch (2) on the ZW220 or the ZW250 is
turned to the forth gear position, the travel speed remains
unchanged from that in the third gear stage. Select the
drive gear stage matching the operational conditions.
