Operation
Eaton UltraShift® Transmissions (Optional)
The optional Eaton UltraShift® transmission is an automatic
transmission that can automatically select and engage the
proper transmission gears.
Vehicles equipped with this
transmission do not have a clutch pedal.
For operating
instructions refer to the Transmission Manual.
Clutch Brake
NOTE: After engagement of first gear DO NOT use the clutch
brake for upshifting and downshifting. To do so will shorten the
service life of the clutch brake and gear selection shift efforts
may be increased.
A clutch brake is used to stop transmission input shaft rotation so
that the initial first or reverse gear selection can be accomplished
when the vehicle is at a standstill and the engine is running at
idle speed.
When using the clutch brake, fully depress the clutch pedal
and shift the transmission into either first or reverse gear. If
the transmission does not go into first gear or reverse, tooth
butting may be occurring. Slowly release the clutch pedal while
applying light pressure on the shift lever until the transmission
goes into gear. This will provide for a smooth shift into either
first or reverse gear.
Power Take-off Control
If your vehicle is equipped with a power take-off (PTO), refer to
the PTO equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Rear Axles
Locking or Limited Slip Differentials
WARNING
To prevent vehicle damage, personal injury, or
death, pay strict attention to the following:
If your vehicle is equipped with any type of
locking or limited slip differential, power will be
transmitted to the opposite wheel should one of
the wheels slip. Both wheels must be raised free
of the ground should it be necessary to operate
one wheel with the vehicle stationary; otherwise
the wheel that is not raised will pull the vehicle
off its support, possibly resulting in personal
injury or death.
WARNING
To prevent vehicle damage, personal injury, or
death, pay strict attention to the following:
Care
should
be
taken
to
prevent
sudden
accelerations when both drive wheels are on
a slippery surface. This could cause both drive
wheels to spin, and allow the vehicle to slide
sideways, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
