I Fully automatic governor controlled upshifting and downshifting in each drive range.
I Optional input retarder with modulation.
fShift modulation with throttle.
17" (std.), 4.5',6o and 8.5" oil pans available as options.
 design features & benefits (cont.)
Ilnhibitors to prevent harmful downshifts or reverse shifts.
I Engine-driven power takeoff drive gear (optional).
lConverter-driven power takeoff drive gear.
IChoice of converters to match wide range of diesel engines.
I Provision for neutral start switch, reverse signal switch, SAE heavy-
duty speedometer drive, and drumtype parking brake.
I Multidisk, self-adjusting hydraulic clutches.
