Eaton Fuller 9 and 10-Speed
Non-Synchronized Manual Transmissions
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has one of these unsynchronized
transmissions, it’s naturally somewhat complicated.
The label above the windshield will tell you the
operating basics you need to know.
Before operating the vehicle with one of these
transmissions, be sure to read the Eaton Fuller
Transmission Driver Instructions Manual in
your vehicle.
The following are driving tips.
D Always choose an initial starting gear suitable for the
load and terrain.
D Always use double
-
clutching procedures
when shifting.
D Never move the range shift lever out of
NEUTRAL (N) when the vehicle is moving.
Clutch Brake (Vehicles with
Non-Synchronized Transmission)
A clutch brake is used to stop transmission input shaft
rotation so that FIRST (1) or REVERSE (R) gear
selection can be initiated when the vehicle is at a
standstill and the engine is idling.
When using the clutch brake, disengage the clutch pedal
and shift the transmission into either FIRST (1) or
REVERSE (R) gear. If the tooth
-
butting occurs
between the clutching teeth, re
-
engage the clutch while
applying light pressure to the shift lever. This will
provide for a smooth shift into either FIRST (1) or
REVERSE (R) gear.
NOTICE:
After engaging FIRST (1) or REVERSE (R) gear,
do not use the clutch brake for upshifting and
downshifting. To do so will shorten the service life
of the clutch brake and gear selection shift efforts
may be increased.
