Upshifting
- Position the gear shift lever in neutral. Start the engine, and bring the air system pressure up to 100 to 120 psi (689 to 827 kPa).
- Position the range preselection lever down, into low range.
- Press the clutch pedal to the floor; shift into low or 1st gear (see Table.), then engage the clutch, with the engine at or near idle speed, to start the vehicle moving. Accelerate to 80 percent of engine governed speed.
- Shift progressively upward from low or 1st gear, to the top gear in low range (see Table.), double-clutching between shifts, and accelerating to 80 percent of engine governed speed.
- While in the top gear of the low range shift pattern, and ready for the next upshift, flip the range preselection lever up into high range. Double-clutch through neutral, and shift into the bottom gear in high range (see Table.). As the shift lever passes through neutral, the transmission will automatically shift from low range to high range.
- With the transmission in high range, shift progressively upward through each of the high range gears (see Table.), double-clutching between shifts.
