Automatic Transmissions
Automatic Transmissions must meet three condi-
tions to provide the proper RPM for the output
shaft. The correct input gear must be selected,
the correct output gear must be selected and the
torque converter must be locked so that it cannot
slip. Normally 4th gear on the input and 4th gear
on the output is the correct combination. This is
called 4/4 Lockup.
All three conditions are programmed into the
engine ECM and are automatically selected with
Mode switch on the control panel. When the Mode
switch is on, it sends a signal to the transmission
that tells it to select the pre-programmed condi-
tions when the operator puts it into drive. Since
one of the conditions is to lock the torque con-
verter, it is extremely important to turn the Mode
switch ON and OFF in the proper sequence to avoid
severe damage to the transmission and torque
converter. Refer to the Start-up Procedure in the
Waterblasting Operation section of this manual.
Manual Transmissions
On trucks with manual transmissions the operator
must manually select the proper gear for WORK
mode with the shift lever. The correct gear is chas-
sis specific and is posted on the placard on the
back side of the sun visor above the steering wheel
in the cab. Selecting a lower gear will typically
reduce performance but will not cause damage to
any part of the system. Selecting a higher gear
than posted on the placard will cause the trans-
mission output shaft to turn too fast which will
increase the load on the engine and transmission
and exceed the designed maximum RPM limita-
tions for the hydrostatic drive and waterblasting
system components.

POSTED ON THE PLACARD. SELECTING A HIGHER GEAR
WILL RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE,
TRANSMISSION AND WATERBLASTING SYSTEM.
