Never downshift when carrier speed will
cause engine to overspeed in next lower
gear or serious damage to engine may
result. Use service brake to slow carrier
to speed for downshift if necessary.
When ready, move range preselection lever up to
high range position.
Using upshift, double-clutching method, immedi-
ately shift from 4th to 5th gear position.
Downshifting
During normal driving there are times when it is
necessary to downshift (shift from one gear or range to
the next lower gear or range) to decrease carrier speed
or increase carrier power. Double-clutching is required.
NOTE:
The following procedure assumes that carrier
is traveling in 8th gear. However, this procedure can be
applied to downshifts from other gears. Follow proce-
dure from appropriate gear. This procedure covers
downshifting from 8th gear to Lo Lo. Unless traveling
a very steep upgrade it shouldn’t be necessary to
downshift thru the entire range of gears; use that
portion of procedure which applies to your situation.
As conditions permit, still using upshift, double-
clutching method, shift from 5th gear to 6th, 7th
and 8th gear.
