G8 Super Cruiser Operator’s Manual MY19 - REV 0

PULLING AWAY

The transmission needs to be in NEUTRAL (N) and
the operator should have their right foot on the
service brake before releasing the park brake.

If DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R) are pressed while the
park brake is still on, no gear will be engaged by the
transmission - an audible alarm will sound. Once
the desired gear is selected release the foot service
brake to start moving.

When in 1st gear, reduced torque is applied until 11
Km/h is reached and then all the engine torque is
applied.

NOTE:

The transmission must be in neutral before

pressing RPM raise and Cruise Control must be off.

TRANSMISSION FAULT WARNING

If the wrench icon is displayed or flashing after

startup then there is a fault in the shift by wire

system. A qualified technician should inspect the

system as soon as possible.

WARNING:

Operating the machine with the

wrench icon flashing is not recommended. It may

indicate a loss of safety back up systems, and the
operator should use extra caution when shifting to
ensure that the transmission is performing properly.

Troubleshooting

J1939

Loss of the J1939 to/from the shifter is indicated on
the Display as

-\--\-

for the

6 Speed Transmission.

The SELECT display works as normal except that
DRIVE (D) will only display

-\--\-

on screen.

Gear

up and gear down button commands are sent on
the J1939 link and will not function in this mode. The
vehicle transmission will not be able to hold any of
the forward gears unless the loss of J1939 occurred
while a lower range was currently selected – in this

case the selected range will be the max range. Press

DRIVE (D) during this condition to enable shifting to

all 6 gears, and consult a qualified technician.

RANGE INHIBIT INDICATOR

Certain conditions may cause the Allison
transmission control module (TCM) to restrict
shifting. The range inhibit indicator alerts the
operator that such a condition exists when the

SELECT display (the left digit) begins flashing, and the

MONITOR Display (the right digit) remains constant.

Please consult a qualified technician in this case.

FILTER LIFE MONITOR

The filter life monitor will display REPLACE
FILTERS when it detects that the flow through the

transmission is being restricted.

Towing & Transporting Sprayer

• A disabled sprayer is best transported on a drop

deck trailer. Use chains to secure the sprayer via
the tie down attachment point located under the
front and rear axles.

• The machine must not be towed unless the

engine is running (as the steering and brakes

require engine power to operate). Before towing,

the front tail shaft should be disconnected, due
to the risk of damage to the transmission. While
towing do not travel at a speed greater than 10
km/h.

• An operator must steer and brake the sprayer

under tow.

turn the key to the run position on your Allison-
equipped vehicle to indicate that prognostics are
enabled. If the

WRENCH ICON

remains on or flashes,

this indicates there is a service issue relating to
clutch, filter or fluid life.

The status of the oil life is displayed as a percentage

(OIL LIFE 100%)

until fluid is due for a change.
