gate mode. The stick travels in a direct
line forward and backwards. The trigger
handle must be raised to clear the stops
when going through the gear positions
(See Figure 11).
Park: To get Park from any vertical gate
gear position, push the stick to the Neu-
tral position, raise the trigger all the way
and push the stick all the way forward to
the Park position. Release the trigger and
the shifter is locked in Park. To get to any
other gear position you must raise the
trigger handle to clear the stops.
Reverse: Raise the trigger handle to clear
the stop and move the stick to the Re-
verse position.
Neutral: Move the stick to Neutral. You do
not have to raise the trigger unless you
are in Park.
Drive (3rd): Move the stick to Drive. You
do not have to raise the trigger unless you
are in Park. The stick can be moved be-
tween Neutral and Drive without using the
trigger.
Second: Raise the trigger to clear the
stop and move the lever to the second
gear position.
First: Raise the trigger handle further to

clear the stop and shift into first.
Ratchet Shift Mode: The ratchet shift
mode allows firm, positive, no-miss up-
shifts from First to Second and Second to
Third. It is impossible to miss a gear,
overshift or accidentally downshift the
transmission in the ratchet shift mode. To
shift from vertical gate to ratchet shift op-
eration, move the stick to the First gear
position. Raise the trigger and pull the
stick all the way back until it stops. Then
release the trigger. The shifter is now in
first gear of the ratchet shift mode (See
Figure 12).
1-2 Upshift: Push the stick forward with a
quick firm push until it hits the internal
stop. Do not lift the trigger. Release the
stick and allow the spring to return it to the
rear position. The transmission is now in
the second gear position, ready for the 2-
3 upshift (See Figure 13).
2-3 Upshift: Push the stick forward again
with a quick firm push until it hits an inter-
nal stop. Release the stick and allow it to
return to the rear position. The transmis-
sion is now in Third (Drive) position.
Once the shifter is in the Drive (Third)
position the stick is disconnected from
the shifter mechanism to prevent acci-
dental Neutral or Reverse engagement.
To switch the shifter back from ratchet
to vertical gate operation once you are in
Drive, lift the trigger and move the stick
forward. Hold the trigger up until a forward
stop is felt. Release the trigger. You are
now in Drive position in the vertical gate
mode (See Figure 14). Note: If you want
to go directly from Drive to Neutral while
switching from ratchet to vertical gate
mode, follow the same procedure as
above except release the trigger as soon
as you move the stick forward. If this is
done the stick will continue through Drive
into Neutral.
Remember: To go from vertical gate mode
into ratchet shift mode the shifter must be
put into the Low gear position. To shift
from Ratchet shift mode into vertical gate
mode the shifter must be put in the Drive
position.
If these instructions for operating the
shifter seem complicated, do not be
alarmed. You will find that, in actual use,
the shifter will be extremely easy to oper-
ate after a minimal amount of experience.
