Reverse speed, first speed forward and second speed forward are always in torque converter drive. These speeds must be manually selected.
The range for third speed through sixth speed is always in direct drive. For each job condition, upshifting and downshifting the transmission is necessary between second speed and the highest speed that is being used. Move the transmission control lever (1) in one smooth motion. During load cycles, haul cycles and dump cycles, manual shifting is not recommended.

The machine must be stopped and the engine at low idle before changing direction. After moving the transmission control, do not accelerate until after hearing or feeling the transmission clutches engage. |
As the engine is accelerated and the ground speed increases, upshift the transmission.
As the ground speed increases, upshift the transmission by one speed. The transmission must be upshifted between second speed and the highest speed that has been selected.
Note: Moving the transmission control lever (1) does not ensure immediate shifting of the transmission. The shifting of the transmission is governed by the machine ground speed.
If the ground speed is reduced or the engine speed is reduced by an increased load downshift the transmission in order to select the correct transmission speed.
Note: Accidental downshifting of the transmission control lever (1) does not mean immediate shifting of the transmission.
If the machine continues to slow down, or if the machine is brought to a stop, downshift the transmission by one speed. Move the transmission control lever (1) to the NEUTRAL position if the machine is stopped.
