Operation
Load Based Shifting
•
The transmission system will adapt to the conditions of the vehicle to
change the shift points based on the followings inputs:
•
Vehicle grade
•
Engine RPM
•
Throttle position
•
Vehicle load
•
After changing loads or powering up the transmission system needs
to relearn these inputs for the first few shifts to make the proper
adjustments.
Coast Mode
•
When coasting to a stop on level terrain the transmission system
may not downshift into the lower gears. It will select a gear after the
throttle is reapplied.
Cruise Control
•
This transmission system is compatible with cruise control.
Automated Lube Schedule
•
The heavy-duty UltraShift
PLUS
has an optional prognostic feature
that notifies the operator when the Clutch Release Bearing needs
greasing.
•
At the appropriate grease interval and shortly after each engine start,
“GI” will momentarily appear in the gear display, along with an audi-
ble tone. This will continue to occur at each engine start until clutch
service has been completed.
•
The operator can choose to follow this Automated Lube Schedule or
the published lube guidelines in the Lubrication Manual TCMT0021.
Note:
“GI” stands for grease interval and may be misread as “G1” on gear dis-
play.
