The gear change scheme is standard, as shown above. Press a coupling pedal completely downwards during switching, and then slowly it release. Do not hold a foot on a pedal during driving is can lead to malfunction of coupling. Also do not use coupling for car deduction at a stop on lifting – use for this purpose a lay brake.
Too fast switching on raising or lowering transfer will lead to an overload of the engine and a possible detonation. Constant increase of turns of the engine till the maximum speed on each transfer will cause excessive deterioration of the engine and the big expense of fuel.
As much as possible admissible speeds
For entrance on a freeway or overtaking of slowly driving transport the maximum acceleration can be demanded. Necessarily observe the next as much as possible admissible speeds for each transfer:
|

If it is difficult to include a backing establish transmission in neutral position, release coupling, and then try again. At towage of the trailer for preservation of efficiency of braking by the engine do not include the fifth transfer. |
