6.8.1 Switching gears (gear shifting)
The transmission is used to switch between the operating modes "Turtle" and "Rabbit"
as well as between gear I and gear II. The color terminal displays the icon of the
currently active combination of operating mode and gear.
In the operating mode "Turtle", the boarding steps are swung out and the warning signs
on the pile pickup swing up.
Driving speeds:
Operating mode "Turtle I": 0-0.7 km/h
Operating mode "Rabbit I": 0-10.3 km/h Operating mode "Rabbit II":
Gear-shifting process
– Engage the parking brake.
– Set the engine to idling speed.
0-20 km/h (respectively 25 km/h / 32 km/h)
– Select the desired combination of operating mode and gear using the keys (1) and
(2) of the operating section:
Select operating mode button (1): "Turtle"/"Rabbit";
Select gear button (2): I/II.
– When switching to another operating mode, a sound may be heard ("clack").
– If one of the two key LEDs and the icon on the color terminal are flashing after
switching, then the transmission is under tension. Release the parking brake and
drive very carefully (!) and very slowly forward or backward. The transmission
will now audibly switch. In spite of this, check if the icon for the selected operating
mode is visible on the color terminal and if the key LED of the operating section is
constantly lit.
Note! Danger of severe damage to the transmission.
Please observe the above hints in any case! Transmission damage caused by noncompliance
or imprecise compliance is excluded from any guarantee or warranty!
The keys for switching between the operating modes may ONLY be used if the machine
is standing completely still (0.0 km/h). Additionally, sufficient pressure must be present
in the compressed air system. This is the case, when the icon is no longer displayed
on the color terminal. If you do not comply with this instruction, then this may lead to
destruction of the transmission.
