Travel Speed Control There are two travel speed modes, low-speed (tortoise) and high-speed (rabbit). By selecting the "tortoise" mode, travel speed is limited to the low travel speed. By selecting the "rabbit" mode, travel speed will change automatically between low/high speeds. The change in travel speed is dependent on the delivery pressure of the pump. The travel speed switch, the implement pump pressure sensors, and the travel pressure switch send input signals to the Machine ECM. The Machine ECM processes the input signals and sends corresponding output signals to the travel speed change solenoid to control travel speed. The travel mode selector switch and travel mode indicators (tortoise and rabbit) are located on the switch panel. When the travel mode selector switch is pressed, the travel mode can be set to the rabbit mode or set to the tortoise mode. The indicator (tortoise or rabbit) will be illuminated to show the travel mode that is chosen.
