3.8 Driving the tractor

3.8.1 Steering

NOTE: When the engine is not running, the steering is not power assisted.
CAUTION: If a malfunction occurs in the steering system, stop the tractor and correct the malfunction before restarting.

3.8.2 Power shuttle

You can change the driving direction smoothly with the power shuttle lever. The engagement of the power shuttle is automatic.
You can request a driving direction change with the power shuttle lever at any driving speed, but the transmission starts to engage the new driving direction only when the speed is below 10 km/h. If you return the power shuttle lever to the original direction when the driving speed is still over 10 km/h, the traction engages immediately.
3. Operation
The operator detector prevents the shuttle engagement if you are not on the seat.
When the driving speed is below 5 km/h: If you leave the seat for more than two seconds and the clutch pedal is not
pressed down more than 10%, the shuttle disengages. The direction stays selected but the tractor does not move until you sit on the seat and move the power shuttle lever to the parking brake position (P) and then to the desired direction.
When the driving speed is over 5 km/h: If you leave the seat, the shuttle stays engaged.
DANGER: Do not leave the seat when the tractor is moving.
