NOTE: This allows the speed sensor on the
input shaft to get a reading.
5.
Press down on the clutch again and release the
parking brake.
6.
Select the desired starting gear.
7.
Release the clutch.
Reverse
1.
To engage reverse (R), slide the selector switch
upward to the next position above the Neutral
position and disengage the clutch.
NOTE: AutoShift 10- and 18-speed transmis-
sions have a dual-range reverse. Reverse low
(RL) is the default reverse gear.
2.
Select reverse high (RH) by pulling upward on
the control.
NOTE: Reverse may be engaged below a pro-
grammable forward speed in order to rock the
vehicle. If reverse is selected above the pro-
grammed forward speed, an audible warning will
sound and a message indicating that the gear is
not available will appear on the message dis-
play screen.
Neutral Position
Select neutral (N) by moving the selector switch to
the "N" position.
NOTE: Neutral is always available during opera-
tion. When in neutral, upshift and downshift re-
quests are ignored. If the mode selector switch
is moved from neutral to drive (D) while the ve-
hicle is moving, the transmission will shift into a
gear causing the engine to go to a high torque
level, under the engine’s rated torque.
Selecting a Starting Gear
1.
In automatic mode, select drive (D) by sliding the
selector switch downward to the next position
below the neutral position.
2.
Disengage the clutch to engage the gear se-
lected. Engage the clutch and drive the vehicle.
NOTE: To select a starting gear other than the
default starting gear, either pull upward or push
downward on the control while the vehicle is
stopped and in drive (either manual or auto-
matic mode). Each pull upward on the control
increases the starting gear by one gear, but no
higher than fourth gear. The number of the gear
selected will flash on the message display
screen until the driver engages the clutch. This
gear will be stored in memory as the default
starting gear until either a different starting gear
is selected by the driver or the engine is shut
down. The transmission may also be pro-
grammed so that it is not possible to select a
starting gear other than the preprogrammed de-
fault starting gear.
Upshifting
NOTE: With the transmission in drive (D) in the
automatic mode, upshifts require no driver inter-
action.
1.
With the transmission in drive in the manual
mode, request an upshift by pulling upward on
the control. If the requested gear is available, the
transmission will upshift.
NOTE: A single, momentary pull upward on the
control selects the next higher gear when it is
available. Two consecutive, momentary upward
pulls will cause a skip shift when the next two
higher gears are available and conditions are
right.
2.
To skip shift, move the control two times in less
than 1/2 second. The number of the gear en-
gaged will appear on the message display
screen.
NOTE: The Eaton Fuller AutoShift 18-speed
transmission is able to perform triple upshifts
when the next three higher gears are available
and conditions are right. To triple shift this trans-
mission, move the control three times in less
than 1/2 second.
If a requested gear is not available, an audible
warning will sound and the message display
screen will indicate that the gear is not avail-
able. An unavailable requested upshift is not
stored in memory. The upshift must be re-
quested again.
