PROGRAMMING REVERSE GEARS
When changing from forward to reverse, the
transmission will normally select the same gear in
reverse as was selected for forward travel (when
operating in gears between 2nd and 10th). For
special shuttle shift applications, the Powershift
offers the advantage of automatically changing the
reverse gear up to three gears higher or lower than
the engaged forward gear. The transmission may
also be programmed to always select the lowest
reverse gear R2.
To program an alternative reverse gear, proceed as
follows:
•
Turn the KEY-START switch off.
•
Move the control lever to the reverse position,
then hold the lever to the right.
•
While holding the lever to the right, turn on the
KEY-START switch (but do not start the engine).
Release the control lever after 5 seconds. The
digital display should show “0” (unless the
transmission has previously been programmed
to select a higher or lower reverse gear.)
To program a higher gear:
•
From the reverse position, move and release the
lever to the right one, two or three times, as
required. The display will show “1”, “2” or “3”. This
indicates that when reverse is selected the gear
will be one, two or three gears higher than the
forward gear.
To program a lower gear:
•
From the reverse position, move and release the
lever to the left one, two or three times, the
display will show “-1”, “-2” or “-3”. This indicates
that when reverse is selected the gear will be
one, two or three gears lower than the forward
gear.
To program the lowest gear:
•
Move and release the lever to the left a fourth
time, an “L” will be displayed. This means that
whichever forward gear is engaged, when the
lever is moved rearward the lowest reverse gear
(2nd) will always be selected regardless of
forward gear.
To cancel the program:
•
From the reverse position, move and release the
lever to the right until “0” is displayed.
NOTE: Remember that only reverse gears between
3rd and 11th are available.
To exit the program:
•
Turn the KEY-START switch off. The transmis-
sion is now programmed.
