OPERATION 215
Refer to the shift pattern and move the shift lever to LO speed gear (LO
range, LO-split). Apply accelerator, engage the clutch, and accelerate to
governed speed. Shift up through first, second, third and fourth speed gears,
double-clutching between the gears.
To continue while in fourth gear (LO-split), flip the range selector up to HI range
(preselect), then move the shift lever through NEUTRAL to fifth gear. As the
lever moves through NEUTRAL, the range shift to HI will be completed. You
are now in fifth gear LO-split (HI range). Use a combination of the splitter and
shift lever to continue shifting to fifth HI-split, sixth LO-split, sixth HI-split and so
on, until you reach eighth HI-split. Remember to double-clutch between gears.
To upshift from LO-split to HI-split (in the same gear), accelerate the engine
to governed speed, move the splitter switch to HI (preselect), depress the
clutch and back off the accelerator pedal. Reapply the accelerator and engage
the clutch when the audible shift is heard, or when the engine speed falls by
approximately 200 rpm. Depressing the clutch may not be necessary to break
the driveline torque, but this will vary with road and load conditions.
To upshift from a HI-split gear to the next higher gears LO-split (in HI range),
accelerate the engine to governed speed, then move the splitter switch to LO
as you move the shift lever through NEUTRAL to the next higher gear. Note
that the splitter switch must not be actuated down to the LO position until
the main box is in NEUTRAL.
Downshift —
Shift from eighth HI-split to eighth LO-split, then seventh
HI-split, seventh LO-split and so on (double-clutching between the gears),
until you reach fifth LO-split.
While in fifth gear LO-split, flip the range selector down to LO range (preselect),
then move the shift lever through NEUTRAL to fourth gear (double-clutch and
use the throttle in the normal manner between gears). As the shift lever moves
through NEUTRAL, the range shift to LO will be completed. You are now in
fourth gear LO-split (LO range). Continue downshifting, using the shift lever in
the normal manner until you reach LO speed gear (LO range, LO-split).
To downshift from HI-split to LO-split (in the same gear) as engine speed falls,
move the splitter to LO (preselect), then release and reapply the accelerator
pedal. An audible shift completion should be heard.
To downshift from a LO-split gear to the next lower gears HI-split (in HI range)
as engine speed falls, move the splitter switch to HI as you move the shift
lever through NEUTRAL to the next lower gear. Note that the splitter switch
must not be actuated up to the HI position until the main box is in NEUTRAL.
Remember to double-clutch between gears.
T313 and T313L Reverse —
Reverse can be used in LO range only.
T313LR Reverse —
Reverse can be used in LO and HI range.
