these so you can get the most use and enjoyment out of your coach.

components located in this area. The dash top may be removed to provide ac-
cess to these components. Circuit breakers for automotive and many other 12

Transmission Shifter
Use touchpad to select proper gear. Also used to read transmission diag-
nostic codes. (See Allison Operators Manual)
Retarder ON/OFF Switch and Hand Control Lever
The switch is used to turn on and off the transmission retarder system.
Light in switch illuminates red when transmission retarder is turned on and is
offering resistance.
The retarder has three levels of operation that are controlled by brake ped-
al pressure. At 2 lbs. of pedal pressure the retarder operates at 33%, at 4 lbs.
66%, and at 7 lbs. of pressure it operates at 100%.
The retarder has six levels of operation that are controlled by the hand
control lever. When the lever is OFF (front position) the retarder does not offer
resistance when the throttle position is closed. As the lever is moved to the rear
more retarder resistance is applied when the throttle position is closed. When
the lever is FULL ON (rear position) the retarder offers full resistance when
the throttle position is closed. (see page10-3, Driving Tips)

passenger's side mirror. Turn each individual switch to left or right to control
the upper or lower mirror on each side.
Dock Light Left (Left Docking Lights)
