OPERATORS
When the switch is OFF the transmission is in the
normal automatic operating mode.
Note: Shift cycling or "gear hunting" on certain uphill
applications can be eliminated by correct use of the
range hold switch.
When the switch is ON the transmission will hold the
gear that it is in at the time of the switch being acti-
vated. Normal downshifting will occur, but the
transmission will not upshift to a higher gear until the
switch is switched OFF (except in overspeed condi-
tions).
When the switch is actuated, the gear shift display
(2), will indicate the gear number that the transmis-
sion will be 'held' in.
When the range hold switch is switched OFF, normal
gear selection will continue and the display will show
the original value.

erator's seat.
