To activate Rabbit Mode, the operator must select Rabbit Mode on the multifunction switch
located on the left overhead console and then press the left joystick trigger switch on the front
of the speed and direction lever. The multifunction switch and trigger switch signal the
Machine ECM, which energizes the two-speed solenoid.
The two-speed solenoid valve directs charge oil to shift the two-speed selector spool. The
two-speed selector spool blocks oil flow from the hydrostatic pump to half of the travel motor
oil flow passages.. The travel motor speed increases due to the decreased displacement of the
travel motor. The charge oil keeps the pistons seated, avoiding wear.
The default state for the two-speed travel system is Turtle Mode. The Machine ECM returns
the machine to Turtle Mode whenever the machine is turned off.
The MTL drive motor is an axial piston motor design utilizing a planetary final drive. With the
two-speed option enabled, a two-speeed valve shifts a two-speed selector spool which varies the
angle of the swashplate, therefore increasing motor speed accordingly.
