Transmission Control Lever

Direction of Travel Selection

Transmission control lever (1) engages forward or reverse travel.

• Push lever forward for forward travel; pull lever rearward for reverse travel. Move

lever to centered position for neutral.

• Forward or reverse travel can be selected while in any gear.

• When traveling in reverse, the back-up alarm will automatically sound.

• Drive in reverse and turn only at slow rates of speed.

• If transmission declutch function is not active (see page 3-5), do not increase

engine speed with the transmission in forward or reverse and the service brake

depressed in an attempt to get quicker hydraulic performances. This could cause

unexpected machine movement.

WARNING

TIP OVER/CRUSH HAZARD. Bring telehandler to a complete stop before

shifting transmission control lever. A sudden change in direction of travel could

reduce stability and/or cause load to shift or fall.
