A. HI Range
Fig. 8.7, Shift Pattern, 10-Speed Models
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.

Operation, Range-Shift
1.
When operating off-highway or under adverse
conditions, always use low gear when starting to
move the vehicle.
When operating on-highway, with no load or
under ideal conditions, use first gear when start-
ing to move the vehicle.
For all conditions, use the highest gear that is
still low enough to start the vehicle moving with
the engine idling and without excessively slipping
7
the clutch.
2.
Use the clutch brake to stop gear rotation when
8
shifting into low (or first) or reverse when the ve-
hicle is stationary. The clutch brake is applied by
9
pressing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.
For normal upshifts and downshifts, only a partial
disengagement of the clutch is necessary to
break engine torque.
3.
Do not make range shifts with the vehicle moving
in reverse gear.
4.
Never attempt to move the range preselection
lever with the gear shift lever in neutral while the
vehicle is moving. Preselection with the range
preselection lever must be made prior to moving
the shift lever out of gear into neutral.
5.
Do not shift from high range to low range at high
vehicle speeds.
6.
Use double-clutching between all upshifts and
downshifts.
7.
After your shifting ability improves, you may want
to skip some of the ratios. This may be done
only when operating conditions such as load,
grade, and road speed permit.
