vehicle slows, the transmission will downshift automatically
through each range. The digital display will show the highest
range available in
D
(Drive).
Lower ranges provide greater engine braking for descending
grades (the lower the range, the greater the braking effect.)
Occasionally, it may be desirable to restrict automatic shifting
to a lower range due to road conditions, load, traffic, or other
factors. The pushbutton shift selector arrow buttons access
individual forward ranges. Push the
⇑
(Up arrow) or
⇓
(Down
arrow) for the desired range. Even though a lower range is
selecte, the transmission may not downshift until vehicle
speed is reduced in order to prevent excessive engine speed in
the lower range.
The transmission must not be shifted from one direction to the
other without coming to a complete stop. The brakes must be
applied to shift from neutral to forward - neutral to reverse -
forward to reverse - reverse to forward. A safety device on the
Trailer Jockey requires that the brakes be applied to shift out
of neutral. If this device is not operating, repair or adjust it at
once.
If you leave the vehicle and the engine is running, the vehicle
can move unexpectedly and you or others could be injured. If
you must leave the engine running, do not leave the vehicle
until you do all of the following:
1. Put the transmission in Neutral
2. Ensure engine is at a low idle speed (500 to 800 RPM)
3. Apply parking brake and emergency brake
4. Chock wheels and take any other necessary steps to keep
vehicle from moving

(PTO)
The PTO is pressure lubricated by transmission fluid and is
designed to drive the hydraulic pump under normal terminal
operating conditions. It should be disengaged to increase PTO
and pump life when driving the machine on trips in excess of 5
miles one way at highway speeds. The MT Transmission PTO
may be disengaged by rotating the lever on the PTO cover to
the rear. The engine must be stopped to re-engage the PTO by
