Operating the Spicer ES52-7B and ES066-7B 7-speed
transmissions
These 7-speed transmissions are
equipped with seven forward gears
and one reverse. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
5th, 6th and 7th gears are

clutch pedal and shift into 1 (First).
Engage the clutch while pressing
the accelerator to start forward.
Operate the clutch and upshift as
required by driving conditions.
