THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF SPARKING AND BATTERY EXPLOSION.
3-54 Section 3 - Operation Tractor Operation Tractor Operation Hand Throttle Control Lever N 4 2 To increase engine speed, move the lever (1) forward (rabbit). Pulling the lever backward will reduce engine speed (turtle). Fuel consumption can be reduced by operating at lower engine speeds under light load. 3 1 The tractor is equipped with a hand throttle, located on the right console. Rated operating speed is 2100 RPM. Idle speed is 875 RPM. High idle no load speed is 2225 RPM.
3-55 Section 3 - Operation Tractor Operation It is never possible to set the cruise higher than the current throttle lever position. If the last cruise setting was above the throttle position, the system will remember that cruise setting unless the “+/–(SET)” button is pressed in cruise mode. The cruise RPM will return to the stored cruise setting if the throttle is moved above that RPM. The electronic system remembers the current cruise control setting at all times.
3-56 Section 3 - Operation Tractor Operation Using the deceleration pedal (4) in cruise mode works the same as moving the throttle handle. If the decelerator pedal causes the engine speed to decrease past the cruise setting, the cruise speed will decrease as well. When the decelerator pedal is released, the cruise RPM will return to the specified setting. It is not possible to use the “+” button to increase the cruise setting higher than the current throttle position.
3-57 Section 3 - Operation Transmission Operation Transmission Operation Synchromesh Transmission Operation Range Shifting The Synchromesh transmission has three forward ranges and one reverse range. Within each range, including reverse, there are four synchronized speeds. The synchronized speeds allow for easier shifting within each range. This combination allows for twelve forward speeds and four reverse speeds. 1. Be sure the engine speed is below 1700 RPM.
3-58 Section 3 - Operation Transmission Operation Gear Shifting within a Range IMPORTANT: It is recommended that shifting gears with the tractor in motion be limited to light draft or rolling loads and only within a set range. Do not attempt to shift between ranges without first coming to a complete stop. L 1. Depress the clutch pedal fully. 2. Move the gearshift lever (2) to the required gear. Shift patterns are located in front of the shift levers indicating gear position.
3-59 Section 3 - Operation Transmission Operation 1407 Twindisc Powershift Transmission Operation The 1407 Twindisc Powershift transmission gears are constantly in mesh. Gear shifting is done by the use of eight electronically controlled hydraulic clutches in the transmission. There are twelve forward speeds and two reverse speeds. Clutch selection is controlled by electric solenoid valves which direct hydraulic oil to the required clutches.
3-60 Section 3 - Operation Transmission Operation The 1407 Twindisc Powershift transmission is operated by a single control lever (1). Because the transmission has only one control lever, it is extremely easy to use. NOTE: The control lever is equipped with a neutral lock button (2). The control lever may only be moved to the forward or reverse positions if the neutral lock button on the control lever knob is depressed. Neutral may be selected without depressing the neutral lock button.

3-62 Section 3 - Operation Transmission Operation Before start up • Always refer to the Pre-operation Checks and Cab Features • Ensure transmission bumpshift lever is in neutral. • Fully apply parking brake. • PTO switch is in the disengaged position (Optional Equipment) During initial Start up During power up the transmission control system initializes and ensures that the machines does not move until the direction selector is first moved to or in neutral and then moved to a non-neutral gear.
3-63 Section 3 - Operation 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 automodulate threshold, excessive heat can be generated and clutch damage can occur. Auto-modulation This strategy is used to shift the machine out of neutral to any gear within the max allowed inching gear range.
3-64 Section 3 - Operation Transmission Operation Autoshift This auto shift mode can be used to simulate the functionality of a typical automatic transmission on an automobile. Machine speed is controlled by throttle position and load. The transmission will upshift to the maximum sustainable gear and downshift when load increases or speed reduction is requested. TO AU 1 Autoshift mode can be used to achieve the maximum performance of the machine.
3-65 Section 3 - Operation Transmission Operation If the machine is operating at the max gear limit and the operator manually request a downshift, the transmission controller will downshift the transmission as long as the downshift will not cause engine overspeed, even when the downshift point is not satisfied.
3-66 Section 3 - Operation Transmission Operation Differential Lock (optional front & rear) The tractor may be factory equipped with an electronically controlled front and rear axle differential lock. This will provide additional tractive effort on hillsides or wet ground. The switch (1) is a three position momentary switch located on the right console. To activate, push and hold for two seconds the front of the switch. An indicator light will illuminate on EIC (2).
3-67 Section 3 - Operation Drawbar Assembly Drawbar Operation 1 The drawbar height is fixed and must not be altered.
