For example, if the chassis batteries are above 12.7 VDC the solar panel indicator will not glow
to indicate the system is charging.
Transmission Shift Selector
The Allison Transmission control pad is located to the left of the driver on the switch panel. The
shift selector allows you to shift the transmission into any one of six forward gears, or reverse.
Additionally, it allows you to select an operating mode based on your particular driving style, or
driving conditions.
When the transmission has reached normal operating temperature, (above 180 degrees) the
transmission shift selector can be used to check the transmission fluid level. Press the up and
down arrows simultaneously, and the display will either say “Trans OK”, or it will display a
number, and a + or - sign. The number displayed is the amount of quarts in the transmission that
are over or under the correct level, and should be adjusted accordingly. No action is required if
the display reads “Trans OK”.
