CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Range Shift
The range selector selects Lo or Hi range. It is used once during an upshift sequence
and once during a downshift sequence.
Preselect
CAUTION
• Always preselect all range shifts when upshifting or downshifting. Preselection
requires that the range selector is moved to the needed position before starting
the shift.
Pre-select range shifts are completed automatically as the lever is moved through
neutral and into the next gear. Pre-selecting all range shifts prevents damage to the
transmission and provides for smoother shifts.
Double-Clutching Procedure
When ready to make a shift
1. Depress pedal to disengage clutch.
2. Move the shift lever to neutral.
3. Release pedal to engage clutch.
a. Upshifts: decelerate engine until engine speed and road speed match.
b. Downshifts: accelerate engine until engine speed and road speed match.
NOTE
• By engaging the clutch with the shift lever in the neutral position, the operator is
able to control the mainshaft gear speed since it is regulated by engine speed.
This procedure helps the operator match the mainshaft with the driveline.
4. Quickly depress pedal to disengage clutch and move shift lever to next gear
speed position.
5. Release pedal to engage clutch.
