6–2. ROAD TEST AND VEHICLE OPERATION CHECKLIST
• NEUTRAL START
❑ Check the position of the operator’s selector lever in each drive
range and N (Neutral). The lever should align with the mark
indicating a range (or N (Neutral) or P (Park)) when the
transmission is in that range (or N (Neutral) or P (Park)).
❑ Check the neutral safety switch by trying to actuate the starter in every
selector position. The starter should operate only when the selector lever is
in N (Neutral) position or P (Park).
• INSTRUMENTS
❑ Check the instruments associated with the transmission. These include the
speedometer and the transmission oil temperature gauge.
• PARKING BRAKE
❑ Check application and release of the parking brake.
❑ Ensure the brake is not dragging or heating up while released.
❑ Ensure the brake is fully applied before the lever reaches full travel.
• POWER TAKEOFF (PTO)
❑ Check operation of the PTO. Refer to the Operator’s Manual
(OM1334EN) for general operating instructions, or to the vehicle
manufacturer’s specific instructions.
• NO-LOAD GOVERNED SPEED
❑ Check the no-load governed speed of the engine.
❑ Adjust the governor, if necessary, to meet the no-load governed speed
specified for your particular engine-transmission match (available from the
vehicle manufacturer).
