Operation
MANUAL Mode
Manual mode should be used whenever you want to select the shifts instead
of letting AutoShift select them for you. For example, when you are moving
around the yard and on some grade conditions.
Selecting from Neutral:
• As described above for Drive Mode, the starting gear can be changed
in exactly the same way in Manual mode.
• If Manual mode is selected from a stop, the starting gear is main
tained- no shifts are performed, except for condition noted below.
• The driver can request shifts using the proper shift button (up for
upshifts, down for downshifts). The upshift or downshift is per-
formed by the AutoShift provided the result in engine speed is not
outside of defined limits. For upshifts, the resulting engine speed
must be greater than 800 RPM; for downshift, the resulting engine
speed must be less than engine rated speed. By pressing the button
twice, the driver can request a skip shift.
Selecting Manual from Drive or Low while Moving:
• If Manual mode is selected while moving, the current gear is main-
tained- no shifts are performed, except for conditions noted below.
• As described above, the driver can request shifts using the proper
shift button (up for upshifts, down for downshifts) within the same
limits described.
