Warnings
Warnings and Precautions
Read the entire driver instructions before operating this transmission.
Set the parking brakes before starting a vehicle, always be seated in the
driver’s seat, move the shift level to neutral, and depress the master clutch.
If engine cranks in any gear other than neutral or without the master clutch
depressed, service your vehicle neutral safety start circuit immediately.
Before working on a vehicle or when leaving the cab with the engine running,
place the transmission in neutral and set the parking brakes.
Do not release the parking brake or attempt to select a gear until the air pres-
sure is at the correct level.
When parking the vehicle or leaving the cab, always place the shift lever in
neutral and set the parking brakes.
If your vehicle is equipped with a remote throttle, before operation, the trans-
mission must be in neutral. See the “Remote Throttle Operation” Section.
TOWING: To avoid damage to the transmission during towing, disconnect the
driveline.

General Information
18-speed Operation
The “MT” 18-speed is an Eaton® Fuller® 18-speed Roadranger® transmission that
uses a converter to multiply torque.
The 18-speed transmission has eighteen forward speeds and four reverse, consisting
of a five-speed front section and a 2 x 2 speed auxiliary section. The auxiliary section
contains LO and HI range ratios, plus an overdrive splitter gear.
One front section ratio (LO) is used only as a starting ratio; it is never used when the
transmission is in HI range. The other front section ratios are used once in LO range
and once again in HI range. Each of the 5 ratios (LO-1-2-3-4) in LO range and each of
the 4 ratios (5-6-7-8) in HI range can be split with the overdrive splitter gear.
The converter has two modes of operation, converter mode and lock-up mode. When
the dash-mounted transmission indicator light is “on”, this indicates converter mode.
This would normally occur at lower engine speeds (RPM’s). In this mode the converter
is multiplying engine torque to the transmission.
When the light is “off”, the converter is in lock-up mode. This mode normally occurs at
higher engine speeds (RPM’s). In this mode, the converter is bypassed and engine
torque is routed directly to the transmission without being multiplied.
If the light stays “on” for extended periods of time, the driver needs to select a lower
gear. If the light does not go “off”, there may be a system problem. If this occurs,
transmission service may be required.

Transmission Features
Features
Range Shift
The range lever selects LO or HI range. It is used once during an upshift sequence and
once during a downshift sequence.
Split Shift
When in LO or HI range the ratios can be split by using the splitter button. The rear-
ward (direct) position provides for the LO through 8th speed direct gear ratios. The for-
ward (overdrive) position is used to split any of the LO or HI range gear ratios. This is
how to obtain eighteen progressive ratios.
Preselect
IMPORTANT: Always preselect all range or splitter shifts when upshifting or downshift-
ing. Preselection requires that the range lever or splitter button is moved to the needed
position before starting the shift.
Preselected range shifts are completed automatically as the lever is moved through
neutral and into the next gear. Preselected split shifts are completed automatically as
torque is released from the transmission. Preselecting all range and splitter shifts pre-
vents damage to the transmission and provides for smoother shifts.
Inertia Brake
This transmission is equipped with an inertia brake that is activated by depressing the
clutch pedal to the floor. The brake should always be used for initial gear engagement
or engagement of the transmission driven power take-off.
If, when attempting to make initial engagement or engagement of P.T.O., excessive
clashing occurs, check for proper air pressure. The master clutch may need adjust-
ment, or the inertia brake may need servicing.
During cold weather operation, it may be necessary to depress and release the clutch
pedal more than once if clashing occurs.

Driving Tips
• Always select an initial starting gear that provides sufficient reduction for the
load and terrain.
• Always use normal double-clutching procedures when making lever shifts.
• Never slam or jerk the shift lever to complete gear engagements.
• Never coast with the gearshift lever in the neutral position.
• Never move the shift lever to the LO speed gear position while operating in HI
range.
• Never move the range lever or the splitter button with the gear shift lever in
neutral while the vehicle is moving.
• Never make a range shift while moving in reverse.
• Never downshift at too high of a road speed.
• Do not skip shift across the range, up or down.
• In most cases, depending on the engine andaxle ratios, you can save valuable
fuel by operating the vehicle at less than governed RPM while cruising in 8th
overdrive.
Double-Clutching Procedure
When ready to make a shift:
1. Depress pedal to disengage clutch.
2. Move the gear shift lever to neutral.
3. Release pedal to engage clutch.
a. Upshifts - Decelerate engine until engine RPM and road speed match.
b. Downshifts - Accelerate engine until engine RPM and road speed match.
4. Quickly depress pedal to disengage clutch and move gear shift lever to next
gear speed position.
5. Release pedal to engage clutch.
*By engaging the clutch with the lever in the neutral position, the operator is able to
control the mainshaft gear RPM since it is regulated by engine RPM. This procedure
helps the operator match the mainshaft with the driveline.
