OPERATION 335
Clutch
General
DANGER
Before starting the engine, set
the parking brakes and place the
transmission in neutral. Failure to do
so can result in unexpected vehicle
movement and can cause serious
personal injury and death.
DO NOT allow the clutch to slip excessively. This would cause excessive heat to
be generated and the clutch will be damaged and bring on premature failure. As
soon as the vehicle is moving, remove the foot from the pedal for complete clutch
engagement. Once the clutch is fully engaged, heat and wear does not affect it.
DO NOT shock load the drive line through rapid engagement of the clutch. Extreme
care should be taken when driving heavy loads up hills. Always use the lowest gear
when starting out under adverse conditions.
When operating a vehicle equipped with a clutch brake, the clutch pedal should not be
depressed more than halfway to the floor while shifting, except when the vehicle is
at a stop. To re-enter the low gear from neutral or reverse, or to enter reverse gear
from neutral or low, the clutch should be depressed all the way to engage the clutch
brake. This stops the rotation of the transmission input shaft and provides an easy,
quiet gear engagement.
