138 OPERATION
Clutch (If Equipped)
To avoid shock damage, release the clutch pedal smoothly, without shock-loading the
driveline (especially on grades while carrying heavy loads). Do not ride the clutch pedal.
Premature wear of the clutch facing and release bearing may result.
CAUTION
Always use the lowest drive gear
combination to start the vehicle moving to
avoid premature clutch failure.
1 To move the vehicle, start the engine and wait until it reaches operating temperature.
2 Disengage the clutch by pushing the pedal to the floor.
3 Shift the transmission into first or LO gear (see "Transmission Shifting Instructions"
for specific procedures).
4 Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
If the Parking Brake indicator is on, do NOT attempt to move the vehicle because
driveline damage may result.
5. Engage the clutch smoothly by allowing the clutch pedal to come up slowly. For
comfortable starts, do not apply the accelerator until the clutch begins to engage.
CAUTION
Never allow your foot to ride the clutch pedal when the clutch is engaged. This will cause
premature failure and increased clutch wear.
6. As the vehicle gains speed, continue shifting until the transmission is in the highest gear
possible (with engine in operating range).
Note:
When the vehicle is equipped with a torque-limiting device, the engine must be
warmed up to operating temperature before attempting to move in either REVERSE or
LO-LO range.
