Q

lower gears 2, 3, 4

A

lower ranges provided greater engine braking for going down grades ( the lower the range, the greater the braking effect) and maximum torque and traction for steep grades and/or adverse road conditions

Q

first gear

A

when pulling through mud or whenever max traction is desired, when maneuvering in tight spaces, or while driving up or down steep grades. First rate provides the vehicle with its maximum driving power and maximum engine braking power. Push the down arrow on the selector until first range appears in the display window

26
Q

use extreme caution when operating the vehicle with either air brake section charges less than

A

60 psi

27
Q

spring brake automatically apply

A

40 psi in both systems

  • If air pressure is lost in the rear (primary) service brake section, the brakes will be modulated by pressure from the secondary reservoir allowing a few brake applications before the spring brakes are automatically applied. If air pressure is reduced to approximately 40 psi in both systems, the spring brake valve will automatically apply.
