Service Ports
SMCS Code: 0350
Illustration 121 g01243936
The service ports are located on the panel behind the
companion seat.
Power Receptacle (1) – This port
provides 12 V power.
ET Service Port (2) – This service port
allows service personnel to connect a
laptop computer that is equipped with
the Electronic Technician (ET). This will allow
service personnel to diagnose machine systems
and the engine.
TPMS or VIMS Service Port (3) – This
port allows service personnel to
connect a laptop computer with the
software for the Vital Information Management
System (VIMS).
Product Link Service Port (4) – This port
allows service personnel to connect a
laptop computer with the software for
the product link system.

SMCS Code: 3100; 7000
NOTICE
To avoid striking overpasses, electrical power lines
and obstructions, always lower the body before mov-
ing the machine.

NOTICE
The machine must be stopped and engine at low idle
before changing directions.
After moving the shift lever, do not accelerate until
after hearing or feeling the transmission clutches
engage.

(1) Transmission control
Make sure that the machine is stopped and that the
engine is at low idle when you move the transmission
control to the PARK position. When the transmission
control is in the PARK position, the transmission is in
NEUTRAL and the parking brake will engage.
Make sure that the machine is stopped and that the
engine is at low idle when you change direction
between FORWARD and REVERSE, or between
REVERSE and FORWARD.
When you move the transmission control lever from
NEUTRAL to any forward speed, first gear is
engaged. At low ground speeds, the machine will be
in torque converter drive.
When the engine accelerates and the ground speed
increases, the transmission automatically upshifts.
During higher ground speeds of first gear and of
other forward gears, the lockup clutch will be
engaged. Then, the machine is in direct drive. When
the engine speed slows and the ground speed
decreases, the transmission automatically
downshifts. During shifts, the machine will be in
torque converter drive. Upshifting and downshifting
are controlled automatically. The transmission will not
shift until the proper ground speed is achieved. You
can not force the transmission to shift by moving the
transmission control lever.

Engine Lockout Control
For more information on the transmission control,
refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Operator Controls”.
Shift Inhibiting
Use the Electronic Technician (ET) to program the
gear limit. See Troubleshooting, Systems Operation,
Testing and Adjusting, RENR8342, “Chassis
Electronic Control system” for additional information.
Shifting is limited in the following situations: engine
overspeed protection, coasting in neutral,
management of directional shifts, limiting top gear,
reverse neutralizer and limiting body up gear.
Engine Overspeed Protection
This machine is equipped with automatic engine
overspeed protection. If the engine speed reaches
2475 rpm, the ARC system will automatically engage,
regardless of the position of the ARC switch. In order
to prevent further engine overspeed, the
transmission will upshift one gear if the engine speed
reaches 2750 rpm and the transmission is in the
same actual gear as the selected gear on the
transmission control.
NOTICE
Do not exceed 2750 rpm or engine damage can
result.
Coasting in Neutral
The transmission will not shift into NEUTRAL if the
machine speed is above 8 km/h (5 mph).
Management of Directional Shifts
If the transmission is in a forward gear and the
transmission control is moved into the REVERSE
position, the transmission will remain in forward gear
until the machine speed is below 8 km/h (5 mph).
Then, the transmission will shift into NEUTRAL. The
transmission will not shift from NEUTRAL into
REVERSE until the machine speed is below 5 km/h
(3 mph).
Limiting Top Gear
The transmission will not shift to a gear above the
selected top gear limit. The machine comes from the
factory with the highest gear as the top gear limit.
Use the Electronic Technician (ET) to change the top
gear limit.
SEBU7790-12
Reverse Neutralizer
If the body is raised and the transmission is in
REVERSE, the transmission will shift into NEUTRAL.
The transmission will not shift into REVERSE until
the body is lowered completely and until the
transmission control is moved into NEUTRAL. The
hoist control must also be in the HOLD or FLOAT
position.
Limiting Body Up Gear
The body up gear limit is programmed to first gear at
the factory. The machine will not operate above the
programmed gear limit until the body is completely
down. The gear limit must remain set to first gear on
machines with a “CE” mark (plate). The “CE” mark is
on machines that are compliant with the
requirements of the European Union. For machines
without the “CE” mark, the body up gear limit can be
changed to second or third gear by using the
Electronic Technician (ET) that is available from your
local Caterpillar dealer.

Engine Lockout Control
SMCS Code: 1000; 7000
This machine is equipped with an Engine Lockout
Control and a Machine Lockout Control. Do not
activate both types of lockout controls at the same
time.
Illustration 123 g01520019
The engine lockout control allows the engine to be
disabled while service is performed. Use the engine
lockout control to prevent accidental activation of the
following:
• The engine starter
• The secondary steering
• The prelube function (if equipped)
