Continue downshifting from 4th overdrive to 4th
direct, then 4th direct to 3rd overdrive, 3rd over-
drive to 3rd direct, etc. Single-clutch when split
shifting (direct to overdrive, overdrive to direct).
Double-clutch when making lever shifts (4th to
3rd, 3rd to 2nd, etc.).
IMPORTANT: Never use the clutch brake when
downshifting, or as a brake to slow the vehicle.

General Information, Eaton Fuller
Range-Shift
To operate a range-shift transmission, move the shift
lever through all the low gear positions and then acti-
vate a range switch to provide an additional set of
ratios in the high range. Using the same shift lever
positions as in low range, move the shift lever
through each position as before. On some models,
the initial low gear is often used only in low range.
IMPORTANT: Not all lever positions are used in each
range and the shift patterns vary between transmis-
sions. Be sure to read the shift pattern decal on the
dash for the operating instructions for the specific
transmission installed in your vehicle.
10-Speed FR/FRO and RT/RTO/RTX
Models
Eaton Fuller 10-speed transmissions have 10 selec-
tive, evenly spaced forward ratios. Each transmission
has a 5-speed front section and a 2-speed rear
range section. The 10 forward speeds are obtained
by twice using a 5-speed shift pattern: the first time
in low range, the second time in high range. See
Fig. 14.3
for the shift patterns.
NOTE: The 4th/9th and the 5th/10th shift posi-
tions in the RT (direct ratio) and RTX (overdrive
ratio) transmissions are directly opposite in the
RTO (overdrive ratio) transmissions
Operation, Eaton Fuller Range-Shift
1.
When operating off-highway, or under adverse
conditions, always use low gear (if so equipped)
when starting to move the vehicle.
When operating on-highway, with no load, or
under ideal conditions, use 1st gear when start-
ing to move the vehicle (except when equipped
with a 9-speed RTO transmission, then always
start in low gear).
For all conditions, use the highest gear that is
still low enough to start the vehicle moving with
engine idling, and without slipping the clutch ex-
cessively.
2.
Use the clutch brake to stop gear rotation when
shifting into low (or 1st) or reverse when the ve-
hicle is stationary. The clutch brake is actuated
by depressing the clutch pedal all the way to the
floor.
For normal upshifts and downshifts, only a partial
disengagement of the clutch is necessary to
break engine torque.
3.
Do not make range shifts with the vehicle moving
in reverse gear.
4.
Never attempt to move the range preselection
lever with the gear shift lever in neutral while the
vehicle is moving. Preselection with the range
preselection lever must be made prior to moving
the shift lever out of gear into neutral.
5.
Do not shift from high range to low range at high
vehicle speeds.
