PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SHIFTER IS
RECOMMENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE MECHANISM IS WELL
LUBRICATED, FREE FROM DIRT OR RUST AND THAT THE CABLE
IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. LACK OF MAINTENANCE COULD RE-
SULT IN A FAILURE INCLUDING A FAILURE OF THE REVERSE
LOCKOUT SAFETY FEATURE.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Before installing the T-handle onto the shifter put Loc-tite on the threads
of the stick. The aluminum of the T-handle may gall on the threads of the
stick and make it impossible to remove the T-handle from the stick. If this
occurs it can cause the stick to break if you use excessive force while
attempting to remove the T-handle from the stick.
To switch the shifter from RATCHET MODE back to the STRAIGHT GATE MODE,
operate the shifter to the Drive gear position, pull up firmly on the trigger to engage
the STRAIGHT GATE MODE and move the handle forward to Neutral, Reverse and
Park.
REMEMBER: To switch from the STRAIGHT GATE MODE to the RATCHET MODE or
from RATCHET MODE to STRAIGHT GATE MODE you must be in the Drive gear
position. Refer to the shift indicator gear position.
SPECIAL NOTE: If the instructions for operating your shifter seem complicated, DO
NOT BECOME ALARMED. You will find that in actual use the shifter will be extremely
easy to operate after a minimal amount of experience. Caution: The shifter is an
important controlling mechanism of your vehicle and can create serious driving
hazards when any part is loose, missing or misadjusted. After you have installed your
B&M Megashifter we recommend you review the instructions to assure a complete
and proper installation.
