Driving Tips
• Always select an initial starting gear that provides sufficient reduction for the load
and terrain.
• Never slam or jerk the shift lever to complete gear engagements.
• Never coast with the shift lever in the neutral position.
• Never move the shift lever to the Deep speed gear position while operating in LO or
HI range.
• Never move the range selection lever with the shift lever in neutral while the vehicle
is moving.
• Never make a range shift while moving in reverse.
• Avoid downshifting at high speed, because these damage the synchronizer elements.
