Operation

2-Speed Axle

If equipped, a 2-speed axle allows the vehicle operator to select a lower axle 
ratio for improved performance when launching from a stop with a heavy 
load.

Warning: 

Do not shift the 2-speed axle when the vehicle is on a grade.

Important: 

If the 2-speed axle "Low" setting is selected, ensure "MANUAL" 

mode is selected and use the "Upshift" and "Downshift" buttons on the driver 
interface device to shift the transmission.
