9.14.6 Transmission Shift Control Switch
a. Travel Select Lever
The transmission shift control switch (travel select
lever) (1) is located on the left side of the steering column.
The switch has three positions: (F) FORWARD (2) (all the
way up), (N) NEUTRAL (3) (center), and
(R) REVERSE (4) (all the way down). The switch or lever
must be in the (N) NEUTRAL (3) position to permit engine
starting.
Moving the lever (1) opens and closes electrical contacts
in the switch, allowing electricity to flow to the appropriate
relays and onto the transmission shift solenoids.
Travel selections are changed by grasping the lever,
pulling it toward the steering wheel, then up or down to
the desired selection, (F) FORWARD (2) or
(R) REVERSE (4).
When the switch is shifted to the (R) REVERSE (4)
position, the back-up alarm will automatically sound.
