two reverse speeds. The shift lever controls five for-
ward gears and one reverse gear in the transmission
front section, and the range lever controls a LO and
HI range in the two-speed auxiliary section. The five
forward gears selected in LO range are used again
in HI range to provide the 10 progressive forward
gears. See Fig. 8.7 for the shift patterns. See
Table 8.1 for the shift progressions.

Once the highest shift lever position (fifth gear) is
reached in LO range, the driver preselects the range
shift lever for HI range. The range shift occurs auto-
matically as the shift lever is moved from fifth gear
position to the sixth gear position.

Table 8.1, Eaton Fuller Shift Progressions
When downshifting, the driver preselects the range
lever for LO range and the range shift occurs auto-
matically during the shift lever movement to the next
gear position.
Eaton Fuller Deep-Reduction Models
Eaton Fuller deep-reduction models are not synchro-
nized. They have a five-speed front section and a
two-speed auxiliary section which has an extra deep
reduction gear. The LO gear in the front section is
used only as a starting gear. The other four ratios
are used once in LOW RANGE and once in HIGH
RANGE giving eight highway ratios. LO-LO is se-
lected by the DEEP REDUCTION lever on the dash-
board. See Fig. 8.8 for the shift pattern.
