Cushion-Hitch Control - The joystick control is located on the right side of the operator compartment. Push button (1) for the cushion-hitch is located on the left side of the joystick control.On - When the cushion-hitch is not turned on, push button (1) in order to turn on the cushion-hitch.Off - When the cushion-hitch is turned on, push button (1) in order to turn off the cushion-hitch.Note: The cushion-hitch should be turned on at all times except when you are loading materials or when you are dumping materials. When the cushion-hitch is turned off, the material will spread more smoothly. This will help you to achieve faster cycle times.Auger Control (Switch)

Auger Control - The toggle switch is located to the right side of the operator seat. The auger is controlled by toggle switch (1). Engage - When the auger is disengaged, push the toggle switch away from the operator in order to engage the auger.Disengage - When the auger is engaged, pull the toggle switch toward the operator in order to disengage the auger.Note: The auger must be engaged when you are loading the scraper or when you are unloading the scraper.Changing Speed and Direction
The machine must be stopped and the engine at low idle before changing direction. After moving the transmission control, do not accelerate until after hearing or feeling the transmission clutches engage.
Once the operator is familiarized with the transmission features, the operator can match transmission performance to a variety of operational conditions that are normally encountered.Reverse speed, first speed forward and second speed forward are always in torque converter drive. Manually select first speed and reverse speed.The automatic range for third speed through eighth speed is direct drive. For each job condition, the transmission will automatically upshift and the transmission will automatically downshift between second speed and the highest speed that is being used. Move the transmission direction and speed control in one smooth motion. During load cycles, haul cycles and dump cycles, manual shifting is not recommended.

Use the transmission hold control to prevent unwanted shifts.Upshifting
As the engine is accelerated and the ground speed increases, the transmission will upshift.As the ground speed continues to increase, the transmission will upshift one speed at a time. The transmission will upshift automatically between second speed and the highest speed that has been selected. The transmission will stop upshifting at the transmission speed that has been selected.If the transmission direction and speed control is moved to a higher speed and while the machine is in motion, the transmission will not upshift immediately. The shifting of the transmission is governed by the machine ground speed.Use the transmission hold control in order to prevent unwanted upshifts when the machine is approaching an upgrade.Use the transmission hold control in order to prevent unwanted upshifts when the machine is loading material and dumping material on rough terrain.Downshifting
The transmission is equipped with a downshift inhibitor. The transmission will not necessarily downshift when the transmission control is moved. This protects against engine
