INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
TRANSMISSION DECLUTCH
SWITCH
Transmission Declutch Switch
The transmission declutch switch (1) is an internally
lighted rocker switch located on the instrument panel,
below the gauge cluster. Pressing the forward side of
the switch activates the transmission declutch feature
when the foot brake pedal is applied.
This feature eliminates the need to shift to NEUTRAL
before operating the hydraulic system at high engine
speeds. When the transmission is declutched, the
drivetrain is disconnected and the hydraulic system has
full engine power.
To use the Transmission Declutch Feature:
1. The transmission must be in first or second
speed range, forward or reverse. The declutch
feature will not operate when the transmission is
in third speed range.
2. Press the forward side of the transmission
declutch switch.
3. Press the service brake pedal or pull the park
brake knob.
4. The switch will illuminate to show the
transmission clutch has disengaged.
Press the rear side of the switch to deactivate the
declutch feature.
STEER MODE SELECTOR
Steer Mode Selector
There are three steer modes available on your vehicle:
(2) Oblique Steer (Crab Steer)
(3) Front Wheel Steer (2-Wheel Steer)
(4) Round Steer (4-Wheel Steer)
To select a steer mode, turn the steer mode selector so
the handle aligns with a selection on the adjacent plate.
You will feel the selector slip into a detent, or “catch,”
when the desired mode is selected.
Always stop the vehicle completely and synchronize
(straighten and align) the wheels before changing steer
mode. See “Synchronizing (Straightening) the Wheels”
on page 17.
WARNING
Apply park brake or service brake and return
engine to idle before deactivating declutch
feature. Deactivating declutch feature above
idle will cause machine to move abruptly.
