Operation
Shift Console Positions
AutoShift™ initiates upshifts from “MANUAL” and “LOW” for engine over
speed protection. Some engines do not use the Eaton engine overspeed
protection.
R Selects Reverse gear once vehicle speed is less than 2 mph.
N Selects Neutral
D Selects the default starting gear and automatically selects
gears between the starting gear and top gear.
MANUAL Allows the driver to hold current gear and manually select the
appropriate gear for road conditions using the up/down but-
tons. MANUAL mode should be used whenever the driver
wants to select the shifts instead of letting UltraShift select
them automatically. For example, when the driver is moving
around the yard, over railroad tracks, or on steep grades.
(See the “Manual Mode” section for more details.)
LOW Transmission downshifts at the earliest opportunity for maxi-
mum engine braking.
Up / Down
Buttons Used in the MANUAL mode to select upshifts and downshifts.
PTO Power Take Off is activated and transmission is ready for PTO
operation. (See “Transmission Countershaft Power Take Off”
section for more details.)
