Operation
Optional Equipment
For easier and faster gear engagement while the vehicle is standing still, some
Eaton® Fuller® transmissions may be equipped with either a Countershaft
Brake or a Clutch Brake.
Countershaft Brake
(Used with push-type clutches) - The control button is mounted on the shift
lever just below the shift knob. To operate, disengage the clutch, press down
the control button, and shift into LO or reverse. This is an air operated
mechanical brake which slows down the transmission gearing by forcing a
piston against the countershaft PTO gear. Never use the Countershaft Brake
when upshifting or downshifting. Use only for initial gear engagement when
the vehicle is standing still.
Clutch Brake
(Used with pull-type clutches) - The clutch brake is applied by fully depressing
the clutch pedal to the floor board. When applied the brake slows down and
can stop the transmission front box gearing. It is a disc-type brake incorpo-
rated into the clutch and transmission drive gear assemblies. Never use the
Clutch Brake when upshifting or downshifting. Use only for initial gear
engagement when the vehicle is standing still.
