Operating the Transmission
Introduction
Your Regional Haul vehicle is equipped with either a manual
or automatic transmission with special features and
gearing to meet your particular needs. It is important for
you, the driver, to understand how your particular transmission
is operated. To do this, you have two sources of
information: this Operator's Manual and the transmission
manufacturer's Driver/Operator's Instruction Manual.
Because of the variety of different transmissions installed
in Regional Haul vehicles, operating procedures for your
particular transmission are not included in this manual;
therefore, you should read and understand both manuals.
Read the general guidelines and instructions that follow
and read the specific instructions contained in the transmission
manufacturer's manual that is included with your
vehicle.
