Transmission Operation
Default gear for launching the machine will be F5 and R1.. Inching will be allowed from F1 to F10 and R1 to R2 (subject to clutch energy analysis)..
CAUTION: Inching time is NOT limited, and thus if an operator holds the inching pedal below the auto- modulate threshold, excessive heat can be generated and clutch damage can occur.
This strategy is used to shift the machine out of neutral to any gear within the max allowed inching gear range.. This feature should be used in loaded conditions to minimize clutch energies and ensure a smooth shift out of neutral..
ATTENTION: Selected Gear will match the Operator Requested Gear except for when the shifter is in Neutral. When the shifter is in Neutral, the selected gear will show what forward gear the operator will get when the shifter is place in forward.
Shuttle Shifts (Directional Shifts)
Shuttle shift is used to go from forward direction to reverse, or vise versa, as quickly as possible without the use of the inching pedal.. This is accomplished by using single clutch shifts.. Shuttle shift will be allowed between F1 and R1, F2 and R1, F3 and R1, F4 to R1, and F5 to R2 (subject to clutch energy analysis).. If a shuttle shift is initiated from gears above the allowed gear, the transmission controller will downshift the transmission to the allowed gear and then initiate the shuttle shift..
In order to perform a shuttle shift, move the shifter from the current direction into the opposite direction quickly and smoothly.. The shifter must not linger in the Neutral position for more than 0..3 seconds.. If the shifter stays in Neutral for more than 0..3 seconds before being moved to the opposite direction of travel, then a shift to Neutral will be initiated followed by an
Speed Matching
Speed matching will enable the operator to push in the inching pedal or shift to Neutral while coasting and have the transmission automatically select a gear to better match the current machine speed when the inching pedal is released or the shifter is placed back into gear.. Transmission will speed match from F16 down to default or maximum launch gear for starting (F10)..
Manual Shift Mode
During manual shift operation, the transmission shifts in response to specific operator actions: moving the bumpshift lever forward or back for direction change, or from side to side for upshift or downshift, (gear change) or depressing the inching pedal (manual modulation control).. The transmission will override the operator requested gear only when an operator request can not be accommodated due to performance limitations or to match the transmission gear to the transmission input/output speed ratio (speed matching)..
There are predetermined delays between upshifts and downshifts.. If rapid upshifts or downshifts are requested, and if the shifts can not be carried out in the requested time, the transmission will queue the requested shifts and upshift or downshift at the quickest time allowed.. This strategy will allow better shifts by letting the engine speed recover before the next shift.. This will also reduce the risk of engine stall caused by rapidly upshifting and reduce the risks of engine overspeed caused by rapidly downshifting..
Queued shifts can be canceled by using the bumpshift lever to downshift.. For example, if the transmission is in F7 currently and the requested gear is F15, by moving the bumpshift lever to the left (downshift) once, the requested gear will become F7..
Queued shifts can also be used in autoshift modes.. When in gear and using the autoshift mode, queued shifts can be accumulated if rapid upshift or downshift are requested beyond the established gear limits..
Automatic Shift Mode
During autoshift operation, the transmission upshifts and downshifts automatically based on the strategy of the selected autoshift mode but without exceeding the maximum requested gear..
