SECTION 2 - OPERATION

Gear Shifting within a Range
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that shifting on
the fly be limited to light draft or rolling loads and
only withina gear range. Do not attempt toshift
between ranges without first coming to a
complete stop.
1. Depress the clutch pedal fully.
2. Move the gearshift lever, 1, to the proper gear.
Shift pattern decals, 2, are located below the
shift lever indicating gear position and a
speed chart decal is located on the right
window of the cab.
NOTE: It is not necessary to reduce engine
speed for shifts within a range, but is
recommended to increase the life of shift
components.
3. Release the clutch pedal slowly to insure a
smooth transmission engagement.
NOTE: While it is possible to shift on the
fly within a range, under heavy loads the
tractor will probably come to an abrupt
stop before the shift is complete. For your
safety, it is recommended that the
operator throttle down, raise any
implements, and stop before a ttempting
any shifts.

shifting the range lever.
2. Select the range desired.
