passes through neutral, the auxiliary section will
automatically shift from high to low range.
3.
While in the low range, continue downshifting
from 4th through LO as conditions require, al-
ways double-clutching between gears.
4.
Do not
downshift into LO-LO from LO unless op-
erating conditions make it necessary. If it is nec-
essary, make sure that the shift lever is in the LO
gear position and the auxiliary section is in the
low range. Then, move the DEEP REDUCTION
lever on the dashboard to the IN position.
Imme-
diately
release the accelerator, depress the
clutch pedal once to break torque, engage the
clutch, and accelerate. The auxiliary section will
automatically shift from LO to LO-LO when the
gears reach the same speed.
NOTICE
Never use the clutch brake when downshifting, or
as a brake to slow the vehicle. This will cause
premature clutch brake wear.
