WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be completely familiar with the warnings and cautions described in this handbook. It is, however, important to understand that these warnings and cautions are not exhaustive. Allison Transmission could not possibly know, evaluate, and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, Allison Transmission has not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, ANYONE WHO USES A SERVICE PROCEDURE OR TOOL WHICH IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY ALLISON TRANSMISSION MUST first be thoroughly satisfied that neither personal safety nor equipment safety will be jeopardized by the service methods selected.
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of the equipment. The service procedures recommended by Allison Transmission and described in this handbook are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools should be used when and as recommended.
Three types of headings are used in this manual to attract your attention. These warnings and cautions advise of specific methods or actions that can result in personal injury, damage to the equipment, or cause the equipment to become unsafe.
WARNING:
A warning is used when an operating procedure, practice, etc., if not correctly followed, could result in personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION:
A caution is used when an operating procedure,practice, etc., if not strictly observed, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment.
NOTE:
A note is used when an operating procedure, practice, etc., is essential to highlight.

Occasionally the road, load, or traffic conditions will make it desirable to restrict the automatic shifting to a lower range. The vehicle or equipment will start in second range and automatically upshift to the highest selected range. These positions also provide progressively greater engine braking for going down medium grades (the lower the range, the greater the braking effect).

ENGINE-DRIVEN PTO
Some models provide PTO mountings on the top and side of the torque converter housing. The type of PTO installed will determine the operating procedures.
If the PTO driven gear is in constant mesh with the drive gear in the converter housing, and a friction clutch is used to connect the PTO load, the PTO can be engaged or disengaged at any time (except at engine speeds that exceed drive speed limits imposed on the driven equipment). If the PTO is engaged by either a sliding gear or dog clutch, the vehicle engine must be stopped to engage or disengage the PTO.
