Operation
Snow/Ice Operation
•
The UltraShift
PLUS
transmission is designed to work in coordina-
tion with the ATC system to ensure optimal operation. However, if the
driver observes low friction road conditions (snow, rain, ice, etc.)
and does not want the transmission to shift, risking wheel slippage,
the driver should select MANUAL mode. MANUAL mode holds the
current gear position under most operating conditions-the transmis-
sion will only shift when the driver uses the upshift/downshift but-
tons. Once road conditions improve, the driver should revert back to
Drive mode.
Sliding Trailer Axle
•
Ensure axle rails and locks are properly maintained.
•
Follow proper procedure for unlocking and sliding the trailer axles.
•
Use Low mode (1st gear) for forward direction and Reverse (R1) for
reverse direction.
•
Avoid repeat attempts if the sliding axle is not moving.
Note:
If repeat attempts are made and the automated clutch starts to overheat,
the display will indicate “CA” along with a warning tone.
Trailer Connecting
•
Prior to backing under the trailer, ensure proper trailer height.
•
Use Low mode (1st gear) for forward direction and Reverse (R1) for
reverse direction.
Operation with Paving Machine
1.
Back the vehicle to the paver.
2.
Move the shift lever to neutral. (“N” should appear in gear display.)
3.
Allow the paver to move the truck forward.
4.
When ready to pull away from the paving machine, the driver can

into the appro-
priate gear, allowing the vehicle to pull away from the paver.
