Gear Selection

For a gear selection there are three buttons in left joystick:

+ (plus), - (minus) and neutral.
-First push on F gives 1.gear forward. Second F gives 2.gear forward, third 3.gear and fourth
4.gear. Push on R button drops gear one lower. On 1. Gear changes driving direction, no
neutral between. You get neutral using neutral button if speed is low enough and always on
1.st gear. (Note! You have to drive machine couple of meters before neutral button speed limit
function works.)
-Gear number and driving direction are displayed on LED-displays. If gear can not be selected,
reason is shown using information codes.
-Pressing the parking brake test button enables driving with parking brake on. Emergency
brake must be released first!
-On remote control only 1. forward and reverse are used.

Declutch

When machine is tramming with 1st forward or 1st reverse on, and the operator presses
declutch button, gear is shifted down to neutral and kept in neutral as long as this button is
pressed. When the button is released previous gear is set on again. Declutch function is
possible only with 1st forward or 1st reverse.
When machine is tramming forward with 1st gear, operator can press the declutch button, keep
it pressed and press reverse (R) button, now machine starts tramming backwards when
declutch button is released. This function is acting opposite way if machine is tramming first
backwards.

Converter Lock-Up

You can engage converter lock-up when you have selected driving direction and if the
converter RPM or engine RPM are within preset limits. Always when you are changing gear,
lock-up is disengaged.

To engage converter lock-up press push-button on steering joystick and to disengage it press
the same push-button again.

You can adjust the Lock-On/Lock-Off engine RPM and machine speed limits by turning the
trimmers on PLC. They are located on PLC main unit under a little hatch. Under the same
hatch there is also a PLC RUN-TERM-STOP switch that must always be on RUN position.

Trimmer(0): Lock-Off engine RPM, range 1200-1455rpm. Lock-On engine RPM is always
100rpm bigger.

Trimmer(1): Lock-On machine speed. Adjustable value is pulse frequency from cardane sensor
7 – 12 Hz.

Conditions to engage converter lock:

-Driving direction is selected
-Engine RPM above preset limit (1300 – 1555 rpm) adjustable
-Machine speed above preset limit (7 – 12 Hz) adjustable
-Engine RPM not above over RPM limit (2400rpm)

Conditions to disengage converter lock:

-Gear is changed
-Selected gear neutral
-Engine RPM under preset limit (1200 – 1455 rpm) adjustable
-Engine RPM above over RPM limit (2400rpm)

Ride control is activated when 2. or bigger gear is selected and the button on boom/bucket
joystick is pressed, another pressing of that button de-activates ride control. Selecting 1. gear
or neutral also deactivates ride control, on that case re-activating of ride control depens on the
