APS II (Automatic Power Shift with Mode Selector)

Description
L70C is as standard provided with APS II (Automatic Power Shift with Mode Selector [1]), which is included in the control
unit of the contronic system.

The mode selector positions are:

LIGHT: (first position) Gear shifting takes place at low engine speed, suitable for
transport operation without load.
LIGHT: (second position) Gear shifting takes place at a slightly higher engine speed
than in the first position, suitable for transport operation
and lighter loading-carrying work.
NORMAL: () Is used for "normal handling" and operation.
HEAVY: Gear shifting takes place at a higher sengine peed, suitable
for heavier work.
MAN: Gear shifting is done manually by the operator using the
gear selector control.

Mode Selector SW143 set to "MAN"
The gears are selected manually by turning the gear selector to the desired gear position.
Changing travelling direction
After changing travelling direction the machine moves off in the previously selected gear.
NOTE!
As a safety function upshift to a higher gear takes place if certain critical engine speeds and travelling speeds are exceeded.

Description of function for automatic gear shifting

Mode Selector SW143 set within the "AUTOMATIC" sector
(The gear selector placed in the 3rd or 4th gear position)
When starting from stationary the machine moves off in 2nd gear and if the machine is moving, 3rd gear will be engaged.
Gear shifting will be automatic. The conditions which trigger gear shifting are a combination of the mode selector setting,
the travelling speed and the engine speed.

Gear shifting between gears Forward: 2nd - 3rd 4th

Back: 2:an - 3:an

For gear shifting down to 1st gear, see "Kick-down function".[Invalid linktarget]
Engine braking / downshifting
Changing direction at lower travelling speed takes place in 2nd gear. If the travelling speed is too high, 3rd gear will be
engaged first and then, when the speed has dropped, 2nd gear will be engaged.
Engine braking / downshifting
2nd gear is the basic gear and the gear in which the machine always moves off in when the gear selector is in either of
positions 3 or 4. For engine braking the accelerator control should be released fully and the engine braking / downshifting
button SW105 should be pressed in. Downshifting will then take place in stages, with one gear each time the switch is
depressed, from 4th to 3rd and at a further pressing of the switch from 3rd to 2nd, if the speed then is below 22 km/h (13.7
mph).
For a further downshifting to 1st gear see "Kick-down function".[Invalid linktarget]
If the engine braking / downshift button, SW105, is kept pressed in while accelerating, upshifting is prevented.
Over-speeding protection
When downshifting is selected, the control programme always checks so that the travelling speed is not too high for the
selected gear. Should this be the case, the current gear will be retained until the speed has dropped to a permissible level.
Kick-down function
Kick-down means shifting down to 1st gear by selecting the kick-down function with SW90 on the selector control, or
SW105 on the control lever carrier. The downshifting point to 1st gear is dependent on the mode selector setting, the
engine speed and the travelling speed.
1st gear will be engaged, if the travelling speed is sufficiently low, or if the travelling speed drops sufficiently within 8
seconds from the moment the kick-down function was activated.
When 1st gear is engaged, this is indicated by a short pip signal from the buzzer.
To shift up again to 2nd gear, the kick-down function must be activated once more.
NOTE!
As a safety function upshifting to a higher gear takes place if certain critical engine speeds and travelling speeds are
exceeded.

Temporary by-pass of gear selector control

WARNING
During all changes of the adjusting screw settings, the engine must be turned off. When the engine is started
afterwards, the starter inhibitor will not be functional.

In case of an open circuit to the neutral and drive position spool S1 or forward and the reverse spool S2, the machine can be
operated temporarily, by screwing in the adjusting screws on the gear selector valve, see Fig. 6, to stop. In order to obtain
forward drive, the D-N screw should be screwed in and in order to obtain reverse drive, both the D-N and the F-R screws
should be screwed in. When the fault has been remedied, the adjusting screws should be screwed out to stop, locked and a
new security seal fitted.

and loading conditions.
