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.
