TUBE-HEAT SHRINK 1269424 - Caterpillar

To avoid striking overpasses, electrical power lines and obstructions, always lower the body before moving the machine.
The machine must be stopped and engine at low idle before changing directions.After moving the shift lever, do not accelerate until after hearing or feeling the transmission clutches engage.
Illustration 1 g00655368Use transmission control lever (1) to select FORWARD, NEUTRAL and REVERSE transmission speeds.Make sure that the machine is stopped and that the engine is at low idle when you change direction between FORWARD and REVERSE, or between REVERSE and FORWARD.When you move transmission control lever (1) from NEUTRAL to any forward speed, first gear is engaged. At low ground speeds, the machine will be in torque converter drive.When the engine accelerates and the ground speed increases, the transmission automatically upshifts. During higher ground speeds of first gear and of other forward gears, the lockup clutch will be engaged. Then, the machine is in direct drive. During shifts, the machine will be in torque converter drive.While the machine is in motion, moving transmission control lever (1) to a higher gear will not force an upshift. Shifting of the transmission is governed by ground speed.When the ground speed and the engine speed are reduced by an increased load or by deceleration, the transmission automatically downshifts. The transmission downshifts one gear at a time in order to select the correct gear.A downshift inhibitor prevents the machine from forcing a downshift. When the machine is in motion and transmission control lever (1) is moved to a lower gear, the transmission will not force a sudden downshift. The transmission will not downshift until the proper ground speed is achieved.Shift Inhibiting
The machine will not operate above the selected gear until the body is completely down. Use the Electronic Control Analyzer Programmer (ECAP) or the Electronic Technician (ET) to program the gear limit. See Service Manual, SENR1502, "Power Train Electronic Control System" for additional information.Shifting is limited in the following situations: limiting machine speed, engine overspeed protection, coasting in neutral, management of directional shifts, limiting top gear, reverse neutralizer and limiting body up gear.Engine Overspeed Protection
If the engine speed reaches 2100 rpm, the alert indicator and the action alarm of the Vital Information Management System (VIMS) will activate. When the engine speed reaches 2180 rpm, the Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) will automatically begin to apply the brake. If the engine speed reaches 2300 rpm, the transmission will upshift to the next higher gear. If the transmission is in the highest gear and the engine speed reaches 2300 rpm, the torque converter will shift into CONVERTER DRIVE in order to protect the power train from engine overspeed.
Do not exceed 2300 rpm or engine damage can result.
Coasting in Neutral
The transmission will not shift into NEUTRAL if the machine speed is above 8 km/h (5 mph).Management of Directional Shifts
If the transmission is in a forward gear and the transmission control is moved into the REVERSE position, the transmission will remain in forward gear until the machine speed is below 8 km/h (5 mph).
