9. CROSS OVER -- Use the Up or Down arrows to turn On or Off. This is a feature
that allows you to leave on the competitor's side of the tree during a handicapped race. When it
is turned on, it automatically calculates the difference.
10. SHIFT -- How to use the SHIFT LIGHT feature -- Turn the Shift Light feature “On”
or “Off” using the Up or Down Arrow Keys. Right after your reaction time has been tested, the
shift light feature will begin. The first Shift Point is triggered at a set time after the last user
clocks reaction time and the “TOP 2 AMBER” lights on the “ELIMINATOR 2000" will illuminate.
Depress the external hand switches as quick as you can. The “MIDDLE 2 AMBER” lights will
come on next at the Preset Shift 2 Point. Again, depress the hand switch as quickly as possible.
Finally the “BOTTOM 2 AMBER” lights come on at the Preset Shift 3 Point. Again, depress the
external hand switches as quick as possible. After you have completed the test, the SHIFT
LIGHT Reaction Results will be displayed. The lights on the tree will cycle down with the
corresponding Reaction Times. A great time is .180 seconds and consistency is the most
important part of this test!
If you miss a Shift, you will get 0.000 seconds - - Maximum time is .500 seconds.
Depress the “UP” Key to review your results or “Reset” to try again.
This feature will help racers who use shift lights and tachometers in their race vehicles
and depend on them to manually shift their vehicle. It is also a lot of fun. If you turn this feature
on, it will stay on even after the next time you start up the ELIMINATOR. See “How to Use the
Eliminator” for instructions.
