NOTE: If the vehicle is moving when shifting,
press the clutch pedal just far enough to disen-
gage the clutch. Pressing it to the floor will en-
gage the clutch brake, if so equipped, causing
premature clutch brake wear.
3.
To upshift, do the following steps:
3.1
Accelerate to engine governed speed.
3.2
On synchronized models, disengage the
clutch and move the shift lever to second
gear.
On unsynchronized models, disengage the
clutch and move the shift lever to neutral.
Engage the clutch again. With the shift
lever in neutral, disengage the clutch and
move the shift lever to second gear.
3.3
Engage the clutch and note the drop in
engine rpm before accelerating up to en-
gine governed speed again.
3.4
Continue upshifting using the same se-
quence described in the previous step.
Follow the pattern on the shift lever.
4.
To downshift, do the following steps:
4.1
Wait until the engine speed drops to the
rpm noted immediately after the upshift.
4.2
On synchronized models, disengage the
clutch and move the shift lever to the next
lower gear.
On unsynchronized models, disengage the
clutch and move the shift lever to neutral.
Engage the clutch again. With the shift
lever in neutral, disengage the clutch and
move the shift lever to the next lowest
gear.
4.3
Engage the clutch smoothly.
4.4
Use the sequence described above to
shift progressively down through each
successive lower gear, as driving condi-
tions require.

Eaton Fuller 9-Speed Models
Eaton Fuller 9-speed range-shift models are not syn-
chronized. They have nine forward speeds and two
reverse speeds. The shift lever controls five forward
gears and one reverse gear in the transmission front
section, and the range lever controls a LO and HI
range in the two-speed auxiliary section. The first
position in the front section is used only as a starting
gear. The other four ratios are used once in LO
range and once again in HI range. See
for
the shift patterns.
After shifting out of the first gear position, use the
Roadranger® "repeat H" shift pattern. Select both LO
range and HI range with the range lever (range
knob). It is used once during the upshift sequence
and once during the downshift sequence.
Always preselect the range shift. After preselection,
the transmission will automatically make the synchro-
nizer range shift as the shift lever passes through
neutral.
Eaton Fuller 10-Speed Models
Eaton Fuller 10-speed range-shift models are not
synchronized. They have ten forward speeds and
two reverse speeds. The shift lever controls five for-
ward gears and one reverse gear in the transmission
front section, and the range lever controls a LO and
HI range in the two-speed auxiliary section. The five
forward gears selected in LO range are used again
in HI range to provide the 10 progressive forward
gears. See
for the shift patterns. See
for the shift progressions.
