Right Side Console (3) Transmission downshift switchDownshift switch (3) is located on the lift control lever. The downshift switch is used to downshift the transmission manually.There is a transmission neutralizer switch that is activated by the brake pedals. The transmission neutralizer switch is located beneath the cab on the right side of the machine. When either brake pedal is depressed, the clutches in the transmission are disengaged. This allows the engine rpm to increase without moving the transmission shift lever to the NEUTRAL position. This also increases the hydraulic pump output.Note: Some machines are only equipped with one brake pedal. The transmission neutralizer switch is functional on these machines. The transmission neutralizer switch is activated by the brake pedal.
