[. . . ] To avoid premature clutch wear and failure, do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use it to hold the vehicle at a standstill on an upgrade as when waiting for a traffic light. 123 Driving Manual transmission shift patterns are displayed on either the shift lever knob or the sun visor. R 1 3 5 2 4 6 Study this information carefully before you drive the vehicle even though you may be familiar with similar units. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle without knowing the exact shift pattern of the transmission. Consult your authorized dealer if any questions exist as to the shifting instructions posted in your vehicle. Do not coast the vehicle with the clutch pedal depressed or with the transmission in neutral. Always use a gear ratio low enough to allow the engine to operate above the minimum engine operation speed range. When more power is required, shift to a lower gear and accelerate the engine near the governed speed. Driving hints The following driving hints are provided as a brief, general guide in operating the different manual transmissions used in your vehicle. · When shifting into 1 (First) or R (Reverse) with vehicle standing still, quickly release and depress the clutch pedal (if necessary to complete gear engagement). Shifting with a synchronized transmission With the clutch pedal depressed, use 2 (Second) gear synchronizer to stop the clutch disc rotation; this allows smooth engagement of 1 (First) or R (Reverse) To complete the gear engagement, it may be necessary to apply light pressure to the gearshift lever during initial engagement of the clutch. It takes a second or two to match gear speeds; steady pressure on the gearshift lever will help the synchronizer perform its job more quickly. If the gearshift lever is forced into position, this action defeats the purpose of the synchronizer by causing gear clash. 124 Driving Shifting with a non-synchronized transmission Refer to Clutch brake and Double clutch procedures in the Clutch section of this chapter. Operating the Eaton FS-4205A and FS-5205A 5­speed transmissions The 5-speed transmission is equipped with five forward gears R 2 4 and one reverse. Do not shift the transmission into R (Reverse) while the vehicle is moving as this could damage the transmission. To go forward With the engine idling, depress the clutch pedal and shift into 1 (First). To go backward Reverse is obtained by putting the gearshift lever in R (Reverse) and engaging the clutch while pressing lightly on the accelerator. Operating the Eaton FS­5406A, FS­5406N, FS­6406A and FS­6406N 6-speed transmissions These 6-speed transmissions are equipped with six forward gears and one reverse. The shift pattern is embossed on the gear shift knob. 2 4 6 Do not shift the transmission into 1 (First) or R (Reverse) while the vehicle is moving as this could damage the transmission. To go forward With the engine idling, depress the clutch pedal and shift into 1 (First). 125 Driving To go backward Reverse is obtained by putting the gearshift lever in R (Reverse) and engaging the clutch while pressing lightly on the accelerator. Operating the Spicer ES56-7B and ES066-7B 7-speed transmissions These 7-speed transmissions are equipped with seven forward gears and one reverse. [. . . ] If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the prescribed solution of cooling system fluid and water. Use only permanent type coolant that meets Ford specifications WSS-M97B51-A1. See the engine manufacturer's operating guide for supplemental corrosion inhibitor specifications. Check every oil change Oil change intervals are as follows: Power Stroke 10, 000 ; Caterpillar 15, 000 ; Cummins 15, 000 (refer to the Caterpillar and Cummins service manuals for further instructions and information) 235 236 GENERAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES Listed below are vehicle checks that should be made periodically either by the owner or a qualified technician.
