Operator Manual
Auto-Neutral
The Auto-Neutral optional feature of
the Expert(t) 2000
TM
allows you to
automatically shift from drive to neutral
mode and the reverse. It is conceived
and designed to automatically engage
and disengage the transmission every
time you stop the vehicle to collect
refuse.
The hydraulic functions of the Expert(t)
2000
TM
often require a higher RPM from
the engine. Therefore, when you stop
the vehicle to collect refuse, you need
to disengage the transmission to safely
speed up the engine, and thus provide
hydraulic power for all of the hydraulic
functions. The Auto-Neutral feature
also saves you time by eliminating the
need to operate the transmission.
To correctly use the Auto-Neutral
feature:
1.
Turn the
A
UTO
-N
EUTRAL
switch on
the console to the
O
N
position.
