Driving on rollers

Sometimes the truck's drive shaft is used to drive e.g.
wheel washing equipment before driving on public
roads. Normally an up-change cannot take place while
the front wheels are still. To be able to change up in
these situations, do as follows:
1 Depress the accelerator pedal until the rear
wheels start to rotate
2 After 10 seconds, it is possible to change up to
the high range
E^ is shown in the display.
When driving on rollers it can be a problem to have
time to change gear without the rear wheels loosing
speed. Therefore, you can start even in a gear higher
than 6.
